RV water door key from older 88 RV

We have a Walmart and Home Depot 30+ miles away.

The closest city with all the big box stores is over 125 miles East from where I reside.

So I do more shopping online such as Amazon and eBay.

Found and ordered this lock from eBay will give it a try as I do need two one for the Class-B and another for a Class-C with broken lock.

Cost more from a US seller but has all the size and dimensions details which seem to match both locks.

eBay - US seller

I normally purchase from US sellers however one can order from China for considerably less in price and may take more than a month for delivery.

Ones from US sellers are around $5 - $6 dollars. If ordered from China only around a dollar or two.

e.g. eBay from China

The local big box stores down here carry them, I assume yours up there would too. A lot of tool chests and other cabinets use cam locks. I'd bet that a hardware store near you has them.

Camco and JR Products have a lot of them.

Google "cam locks" and you,ll find hundreds.

Don,t forget your local locksmith.

These are short like yours and have the locking lever.

Regular style key.

Vending machine type tubular key.

I’m sure I have seen that water inlet door on eBay or in an RV store, complete with lock. I expect it would be easier to demolish the door and replace it than to deal with the rusty lock without damaging the door.

Here's a link to some pics of the lock which was drilled out and removed.

Appears will require a new lock and key with lever as I don't believe the tumbler is remova

PICS of lock removed

I was going to purchase this lock however it has no lever.

However there's more to these locks to get one that can replace your existing lock may require taking some measurements.

Found another lock with a lever I think should work.

The keyed lock with lever the desc. shows it's suppose to fit locks with cylinders 16mm and 25mm in length.

The two locks I have, one has a 16mm cylinder (length) and the other measures ~22mm (length)

No not from what I've been told by the sellers who I've know for a while. I was told it was sold by the wife whose husband has past away . From what I've been told she is in her 80s and no longer travels. It appears it has been sitting unused for quite a long time.


I don't believe it's stolen as a person had it checked out by a cop and was told there were no reports of being stolen, liens on it, etc. Appears to have been sitting in one spot for a very long time, somewhere up in Alaska as it has Alaska plates.

Contact your local police department and explain the situation. They won't give you the owners information but, maybe they could contact the legal owner and have them contact you? It may be worth a shot.
If nothing else you will know the RV (hopefully) isn't stolen.

It will be cheaper than a locksmith and you won't destroy the door.

Yes, I think that will be the best solution. I have another broken lock on my Class-C and found a new lock that uses a CH751 key for ~$5.50 each.

However I guess I'm getting ahead of myself as I don't want to purchase anything for it as well as work on it until I know I'm able to obtain a title.

I'm still trying to find out the name of the original owner in the State where the title is currently registered. The state's DMV won't disclose any information about vehicle owners and title registrations.

How did you buy liability insurance without clear title?

I would drill it and replace the lock. You order them on Amazon for a few bucks.

They are called cam locks. Measure the length.
