Ours used a padlock on the outside of the door. I need to lock from the inside as well. Although I have yet to lock the door on the RV while in a campground since the dog died. I ALWAYS lock the door when pavement parking.
 
I like your idea. I was in the process of trying something different on mine, but I like yours better, simple and snug. Thanks

in a bus from the inside you can all ways wedge something between the step and the middle of the door (center hinge) it wont open :)

Only works if you have an operational center hinge... we no longer do! :D
 
I drilled a hole through the handle and latch, and put a small bolt with a wing nut (not visible underneath the latch in this view) on it for an inside front door lock:

Yes, but a BROKEN lock gives you something to show to the insurance adjuster, while no sign of forced entry makes him think you're a crook pulling a scam.
