FOLLOW-ON REPORT - Here's a quick update on the installation I did two years ago.
The system worked fine until this spring. We arrived home in early January and the coach has been parked in the driveway since then. The locks worked when we got home. The basement bay door lock actuators are now iinop but the rest of the system seems fine.
Here's what I think happened: The key fob has one button, the "I" button, that I wired to unlock the bay doors. This button is slightly higher on the surface of the key fob than the lock/unlock buttons that operate the entry door and it tended to get pushed while in my pocket. I think it got pushed by some of the stuff we store it with in our key dropbox just inside the front door to the house. The actuators were then continuously powered on and burned out. I'm in the process of replacing them. Fortunately they are cheap ($4/ea) on Amazon, and pretty easy and quick to swap out.
So, if you have the Autolock KL550, make sure you don't leave the key fob in range of the coach and where it can be pressed for a long period of time.
