Replacement CH571 locks
I just ordered a bunch of these for my Host Mammoth - they fit perfectly EXCEPT for the water door.
Now, I have one key for all the doors, and they also have in stock keys with LEDS!
Does your Mammoth have the black latch type locking mechanism? I'm going to go out later and see if I can somehow just get the ch751 lock out and replace with a different tubular cam lock.
Alas, no. The doors are insulated on the Mammoth, and therefor different. It came with the el-cheapo ch571's, and I really justed wanted one key for all of it (and yes, I know about the fact that a master key - a screwdriver - can open anything.)
True, if somebody wants in bad enough they will get in. It's just about deterring them enough so maybe they'll move on to the next camper. We had some problem with a young punk kid down at the Kenai River ferry campground going around to everyones RV's while they were across fishing and stealing stuff from their storage compartments by using his own CH751 key (we caught him and put the fear of god in him though :) ). Replacing those locks is generally the first thing I've done on all of my RV purchases.
