Is it good to post about hidden keys? We (sometimes)post pictures of our rigs, we tell where we are camping and where we live. Now all the bad guy has to do is put it all together and find the key.

All I will say is I have keys hidden for TT,TV and topper and even one for the stick house ( mine is stored onsiite) Only 3 people know where it's hidden. Never had to use them yet but nice to know if I did get locked out I could get in without "breaking" in...

Me too, I keep a set of truck keys in the 5er and a set of 5er keys in the truck. I alos keep my main set of keys for both in my pocket and DW has a set.

It seems that there are only a few different keys for outside compartments and main door locks for that matter (not the deadbolt lock). One of our friends was locked out of theirs, and another friend used his key to unlock the outside compartment that was under the bedroom. Then ANOTHER friend crawled into the compartment, lifted the bed up and came out the bedroom door.
This is a great idea, but would not work on our tt. We have a compartment that is under the bed with a cabinet door that leads into the interior, however it I would even attempt to crawl in that way.
Only a small person, or a small child could fit in our outside entrance.

Hide one behind your license plate! Unscrew one of the screws and place your key on the screw then back onto vehicle. May have to open up the hole on the key to accommodate the screw.
I did this on my teens cars (and never told them until I get the phone call)

We had our dead bolt go bad on a long trip, Since I never lock the side compartments(before, y'all go ballistic about locking up, I've never had anything stolen and don't wworry about it), I crawled up through the laundry in the bedroom. Wife said I was too big, but is amazing how large an opening that is. lol
Y'all have fun now!!

Use use those nylon tie thingees that slide together, and put the spare key inside the ref compartment. Give it a good twist and it's loose. Lost too many of the magnetic boxes, so learned not to trust them. I liked the spare key behind the license plate idea!

There is nothing worse than leaving the keys on the doghouse of a class C and make a rest area stop, close your door, hear a click and then hear the passenger door close. My wife is short and was using the arm rest as a crutch and accidentally pressed the lock button. Fortunately, I had the foresight to hide a key. I now have one in the toad and a toad key in the motor home. I also carry a key for my wife's car in mine - had to drive home from work (35 miles) to get a spare key to rescue her too many times. I even have a toad key in my wallet but that isn't guaranteed to rescue me since I have a habit of leaving the wallet in the toad when at a campground.
