Barry ,  very easy to fit , just one screw on the edge of the door and the barrel will slide out , takes a minute, you will need to know the length of it to get the right size . That’s if you have a more modern van with a upvc door.. Also think about whether you want a key on the inside or a thumb turn.

Hi Barry, as already stated, the locks are really easy to change.  Some shops can provide "keyed alike" locks, so the same key fits both doors.  I may be wrong, but I thought it was a requirement in caravans for escape doors to have a thub turn on the inside.  Personally, I would always go for this option - far safer in an emergency. 
Good luck with everything.
