Are the exterior locks for utility door and such all the same key??

The only key we have is for the steering column. (Thank You Chuck.)

I am getting around to messing with the 78 that Frank has stored here. I would like to get the outside accesses open so I can put power onboard.
Are there any that are easily gotten behind? (If I can get behind a lock, I can take it out and get it keyed.)

When (IF) the ground dies out, I'm going to get underneath and try to pull the crank through two turns.
If it does, I will try to start it. If it does start, I will see if there is still AFT. That will be corrected and I will try to make it move.
If it moves, I will try to talk Frank into selling it as an item.
If we don't get that far, you will see a lot of nice parts on the block.

Matt, do you mean the key for the small doors? Or, the Entrance Door? Small keys might be a "good luck finding them" item. I finally removed all the small exterior locks, and replaced them with ones from Camping World. New ones are all keyed the same. In fact, all the little replacement locks use the same key. Will keep out casual eyes but not a serious thief.
I still have one key that I cannot find a blank for. The exterior water inlet Made by Theford. E-mailed them, but got no joy.

Jared,

You forgot there are Transmodes that were outfitted by Avion, Coachman, Santana, Midas, etc.

That is strange, all of my locks are GM keyed.....

Maybe it depends on the year of the coach.

I haven't found what all the keys I got with mine go to, it's a 1974. I do know the door lock key is different (must've changed the door lock at some point). There is a GM ignition key and door lock key on there, the door lock key now can only lock the glovebox. The electrical hatch uses a different key also. I still have one other key on there that I haven't found a lock for yet, but gonna leave it on there as you never know when it will turn up...lol..Oh, and I also only got one set of keys so am going to get a couple more made. Found out years ago that most of the camper manufacturers used the same couple of keys for the storage compartments. Glenn
