Well I know we all carry tools, recovery gear, all sorts of things in case it all goes wrong and you can get yourself out.
I own a 100 series and have a drawer system and cargo barrier in the rear. I traveled on a few Kilometers of corrugations least week, (Nothing to brag about). When I went to access the rear a day later I could not open it!!!!
An item had managed to wedge itself on the latch preventing the door from unlocking hence opening. All my
tools everything was now lock up tight and i was Screw@@
Fortunately I was able (After many attempts) and using a broom handle via the cargo barrier to move the item hence unlock the back. Problem solved but raises two issues. If the back was fully loaded there would have been no way for me to move the item. If the unlocking mechanism vibrates looses thereby disabling the door the
tools are locked inside.
has this happened to anyone? What did you do? What preventions can be taken.

Something the same happened to me a couple of years ago, the slide out pantry in my slide on camper became jammed shut by something wedged in there. This happened at, of
all places Dalhousie Springs on our way across the Simpson to
Birdsville.
We spent hours trying to dislodge whatever it was preventing the slide out opening and were considering a major cabinet demolition job or removing the fridge and making a hole in the dividing wall. At this stage we had resigned ourselves to having a diet of what ever food wasn't in there when a day or so later I tried it and it slid out, whatever was causing the problem had jumped back into place.
You laugh about it later.
Rob.
