RVLock Charter Keyless Entry Handle for Class C and A Motorhomes

Our review of the RVLock Charter keyless handle finds it best suited to RV owners who want a durable, programmable replacement for a standard RV door lock. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of multiple access options and a heavy-duty steel core that aims to bring tangible security to doors with hinges on the right. Installation is straightforward and the unit fits a 4.5 x 3.5 in opening, so it works well for many Class C and some Class A motorhomes that have the door behind the front axle.

Key Features

• Secure keyless handle: The programmable keypad and mechanical backup keys provide options to lock and unlock without carrying a traditional key at all times.
• Multiple entry methods: The unit supports keypad entry, wireless fobs (up to 10), and mechanical keys to accommodate different user preferences and situations.
• Heavy-duty core: A steel core in the handle delivers increased durability compared with purely plastic alternatives.
• Designed for Class C and many Class A motorhomes: The latch and handle are built to fit doors behind the front axle and match a 4.5 x 3.5 in cutout for straightforward replacement.
• Easy installation: The kit includes batteries and hardware and can be installed in roughly 10 minutes for most standard right-hinged doors.
• Programmable rolling codes: The integrated keypad supports over 1 million possible rolling codes for improved wireless security.

Who It's For

This lock is aimed at RV owners and family travelers who want a modern, flexible entry solution for a Class C or compatible Class A motorhome door with hinges on the right. It is a good fit for users who value keyless convenience, want the option to add multiple wireless fobs, and prefer a unit that replaces a standard 4.5 x 3.5 in opening.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of left-hinged doors or vehicles with nonstandard door placements, and buyers who need a fully metal exterior housing rather than the mix of metal core and external components provided. Also verify fit for some Class A configurations before ordering.
