This is similar to something called a birthday attack which is mentioned on Wikipedia.
There are replacement key cylinders available which give a lot more key changes, as well as a different key profile so the Fastec keys don't fit. If worried, I'd do that.
I wish I had a decent CNC mill. What I would do is see about designing a RV handle made from high quality steel with Teflon bushings so once put in, one will replace the RV before the handle. The key cylinders, I would use Medeco Logic keys. These are keys that are made to be used and abused, and use both a physical mechanism as well as an electronic chip to prevent it from being opened by picking. Yes, a crowbar or long screwdriver can pry open the door, but it gets rid of the casual "key lottery" or someone with a master key ring getting in without a trace.
A RV is part home. Shouldn't it have at least the same security on the front door as a house?
