Made it finally! Went thru big tent and saw a booth warning that many of us have the same outside compartment key CH751. They wanted $100 for 7 new locks and keys that have the cylinder type key..
Anyone have there changed?
Every RV initially has the same "751" key'd storage bays. You can go to Home Depot (or wherever), and buy new locks keyed the same for about $5 a piece. The clowns at the show use the shock and fear factor to try and sell you ridiculously overpriced replacement key'd locks.
I replaced the locks on my two storage bays, the battery and generator compartments. I did not bother with the dump station or electrical cord doors and do NOT key lock the propane tank access door - dangerous and illegal.
Bottom line any low life with a screw driver can get into your storage bays but like the old saying goes "You can keep the honest folks honest" by re keying.
