After some measuring and searching for cam locks. I found what is needed for the water inlet door is a 16mm long cam lock. The hole in the water inlet door the diameter isn't perfectly round and measures 16mm x 18mm.
The length is important, some cam locks come with a couple of different types of metal locking tabs that locks the door panel to a RV, which is either a straight type and one that's bent L shaped.
Typical lengths are usually in mm or inch.
MM - 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, etc.
Inches - 5/8", 7/8", 1", 1.25", etc.
So it's important to measure the length of the threaded part of the lock to determine it's a proper length for the door panels width.
My door panel on the other E-350 motorhome is 1/2" inch thick and the exiting lock that needs replacement is a 7/8" long (which equates to approx. ~22.22mm)
Being off a little on the length the door panel may become too loose or the cam lock will be too short to fit the door panel.
Anyway if you can find dimensions for a cam lock helps to find one that fit's a RV door panel, replacing any existing lock.
