I'm an amateur locksmith. When we bought a 4 year old MH in 2008, I found the appropriate key blanks in my collection. Recently I needed a spare key for a Toyota and didn't have a blank so I went to the hardware store and looked for on. It was difficult because the Toyota key I wanted to copy has a fancy plastic remote covering the key number. It took a few minutes to find a likely key blank and it fit the door. It has the key number on it so I could order more blanks on eBay.
Hillman TR 47 ? That is the plain brass blank that my Pontiac Vibe uses (same car as a Toyota Matrix) I put the original keys away, mine had separate remotes and keys with large plastic heads. I do not use the remotes on it, as I open the doors with the key, like I have done for the past 46 years on other cars.
Motorhome is the first vehicle I have had that I actually use the remote as it has the folding key/remote combo and the cab and coach doors lock together.
