Autotrail central locking

My 2012 Delaware has had the same problem almost from day one. Each time the dealer looks at it it works perfectly.......Sod's law.
I think the main problem with ours is that the door is a very tight fit and the solenoid (or whatever operates the lock) is not powerful enough to overcome the resistance. I have now found that if I push hard on the door is I operate the key lock it works most times. Alternative is to give the door a good hard slam but that is not always conducive to good relations with your close neighbours on a busy aire, particularly at night.

Thanks for the advice MrP.

I don't have the right tool to adjust the door catches in my arsenal of kit so it will have to wait until we get back home.
We are off across the water first thing in the morning to the land of cheap wine and decent croissants.
I have cleaned the contacts up though and it seems much improved.
Like you I will just have to keep checking every time we leave the 'truck'.
