Im Locked Out

JojoBrisk · 03-03-2017, 06:57 AM

Ok. So in a effort to protect my tools I locked myself out of my bus. Does anyone know of a way to break in without breaking any windows?
HELP!!!

The windows may open, you should be able to push up on one hard enough to move it. Worth a shot anyhow.

Escape hatches on the roof.

The drivers windows in my AmTrans basically don't lock, so you could also try that. The lock itself is so chintzy you could wiggle the window a bit and slide it right open.

bolt cutter / grinder / plasma torch - any excuse for new tools!!

I don't have a lock on my rear door, so I end up climbing in through there.

If your main door is air powered you just have to wait till it runs out of air and it should open. Might have to wait overnight though.
If not I'd try the roof hatches and a coat hanger

Thanks for all of the advice. I have no roof hatches and I tied the backdoor shut so that it couldn't be opened from the outside. I ended up breaking a window that I'd planned on removing anyway.

If you are running out of air, this is not a good sign. Roof hatch should have a knob

Dang I wish I had seen your post earlier, we just got back to town and I've got a full set of picks and enough skill to eventually open most locks.

Glad you're back inside, Jojo! Sorry about your window.

Loss of air compression over time is inevitable.

Yes, but overnight indicates a very large leak

100 PSI over 12 hours really isnt that bad, thats a SLOW leak and probably hard to find. Compressor would overpower that whilst running anyway

Thanks again everyone. Breaking the window wasn't that bad. I was gonna vent my wood burner out of that window anyway. I've made quite a bit of progress since then. Right now I'm stuck on this freaking bunk bed situation. I'm pretty much rough installing all of my framework, but I've made some bonehead miscalculations. I measured and built my frame to the exact size of the mattresses instead of a little bigger. Now I can't go up... LMAO!!! I've figured out a solution, but I can't build up until my window tint film arrives which won't be until next Wednesday.
Oh!!! Btw. I just found the coolest thing. I will be using an authentic used Jack Daniel's half whiskey barrel for my shower basin. Living with my wife and two small daughters has mad my bus design lean towards the "girlie" side. Now I've added a little bit of manliness back. I'm so stoked about that part. It's the small things in life that are most rewarding. LOL
