    The trailer door latch fell off and trapped us inside for about an hour. There was no one around to help us at our campsite and no telephone cell service. We had no tools other than a butter knife to try and jamb the latch lock. We did finally manage to get of the trailer on our own by using brut force. This is a extremely dangerous problem that AirStream could easily fix. Yes, there is an escape window but breaking a window and screen is a last ditch effort and requires some agility on the occupants part to jump out of. Thinking of all the wildfires these days it would be awful to be trapped in a trailer or to have a fire break out inside the trailer and not be able to escape.
