Are you worried about some kid stealing his parents rv baggage key and using it to open your compartment ?
Better off installing a camera to I.D. the kid, then tell his father...no make that his mother, so she can kick his A$$.
I worked for a locksmith save your time and money. A prying screwdriver or a foot can open any rv baggage compartment door . The door and frame are the weak links not the lock. Its the same with your house doors at home, they kick them in, the wood frame gives way.
If you install an expensive case hardened dead bolt , then you have to install an equally secure frame, otherwise you are wasting your money.
If you read my original post it stated "I know the compartments can be easily broken into no matter what lock is on it. Just worried about the standard lock that has the same key on all campers at out seasonal site. At least if it's forced I know if someone was in the compartment. "
I'll repeat my concern is not knowing if anything was stolen until I go look for it, i.e. tool and camping gear. I also keep un refrigerated beverages including beer in an outside compartment.
