Several of the parts I need are make/model specific- compartment keys, manuals (not appliance, but the trailer itself, etc.).
I did get an email from them this morning, saying she hadn't forgotten about me and my info would be along shortly.
Patience has never been one of my strong suits.
First, trailer manual is worthless, don't waste any time or money on one.. The manufactures write really generic manuals which tend to cover various models.
The manuals you REALLY want ARE the appliance ones, those contain all the info you really need..
The rest of your trailer is not hard to figure out like the fresh water system, holding tanks, lighting and even the 120V electrical stuff..
Trailer manuals don't show much detail, no electrical, plumbing or such info.. just an overview of some of the "features" and not much real info.
Second.. Compartment keys/locks.. if locked drill them out (they are cheap pot metal so drilling them shouldn't be hard to do)to open then once compartment is open remove the lock and take to your local Home depot or Lowes and match up the cylinder length to what they have in stock and call it good.
If not locked just remove as above go to Home Depot or Lowes..
There is no need to use "RV" locks, for the most part as long as you can find a lock which fits the diameter and length with perhaps a little modification (if if lucky no mod) Cabinet locks sold at your home centers will work perfectly fine (that is what I used when rebuilding my used TT)..
Replacing the entire lock set is better than trying to get new keys since the manufacturer would have had to recorded the key numbers with your VIN number when the unit was built (and I would doubt they did that).
If you REALLY "want" direct replacement locks the simply buy them at a local RV dealer, they SHOULD have them in stock or will order them for you..
