Funny, I just assumed that since Lil' Travelers and the Silver Shadows were similar in design, and once made by the same company that they would lock like mine do on my Silver Shadow.

I know we used to tent camp all the time and never worried about "locking" ourselves inside. It's something about being in an enclosed area that makes me want to put some door locks in to feel safe. Sounds silly...
My other thought, just how thick are the walls of these campers? Probably need to use some pretty short screws/nails in the walls!

If there isn't a visible means of locking the door from the inside, it may be the type where you turn the handle one way to open the door, and the other way to lock it.

Wow! That is something I had not tried. I was thinking we would have to depend on our ferousious cat for protection, but the truth is she would be hiding under a pillow. On my Little Guy the doors will open from the inside if they are locked from the outside. If we can just remember not to get out and leave the keys inside all will be well.

Ignore the dogs, and look up by the door handle...

It’s tough to beat a dead bolt to ‘seal the deal’ – pretty much the same philosophy as a house.
