Availability of replacement keys for Winnebago Chalet

Hello from the UK!

I am new to owning an RV but have owned European Motorhomes for a number of years and before that European caravans.
I am in the process of wanting to buy a C class RV, max size 8 meters or 27feet due to storage and access to places on UK and European roads.
I have seen a 2005 Winnebago Chalet 24V for sale here in the UK with all manuals and service and import info BUT there are no keys for the lockers as they have been lost.
My question is how easy is it to get replacement keys - I assume I will need the barrel number or some details from the RV, is it easy or very difficult as my choice to purchase is based on getting more keys and probably getting an LPG conversion done as well as Petrol ( Gas) here in the UK is currently equivelent to $5.70 per gallon !!
I am open to other C class RV's so any information you can give me will be useful as obviously we don't have as many used RV's here as you do.
Thanks in advance.

  • Thanks very much for the replys, most helpful.

    Are there anyother C class RV's that I should consider? No slides please.
    We would like a rear bed, a dinette and an overcab bed as well.

    Thanks.
  • Contact Winnebago at http://www.winnebagoind.com/. They are very responsive.

    They don't sell direct to customers, though, so after they identify what you need, contact http://www.lichtsinn.com/rv-parts.aspx. They are an RV dealer located 1 mile (1.6km) from the Winnebago factory. They kind of specialize in mail ordering Winnebago stuff to customers. I hope they do international. I have never had to ask.

  • Welcome to RV.NET.
    Depending on which brand locks are on the model you are looking at. Almost all manufactures use the same key. Should be easy to find here in USA.
    Edit: Looking at pictures of that model MH. They probably have CH751 Lock/keys.
