My RV keys probably unlock your RV's storage bay doors and possibly even its front door. That's right, much of the RV industry uses the exact same key - code CH751 - for storage bay doors. It is also my understanding that the front door locks aren't as uniquely coded as we would all hope.
In an effort to increase the security of my travel trailer I changed my RV locks by installing a new front door keyless entry handle by RVLock as well as new storage bay door tumbler locks. This severely reduces the chance that another RVer can unlock our RV locks merely using their keys.

Nice video! Let's be honest the RV manufacturers shouldn't be using the same key lock on all RVs. It's unacceptable and consumers shouldn't have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix this design flaw from the factory.
Agreed, it's pretty ridiculous that this same key is reused on most brands across multiple manufacturers. They don't care though, it's all about keeping production costs as low as possible.
And simplified access for dealer staff in sales, delivery prep, and service. CH751 was one of several common keys when I was an RV tech 25 years ago. It's good that you changed your locks to different keys and locks on both sides of the hatch.
@@FateUnbound I'm sure keeping cost down is the reason. I use to be a school bus driver & learned that 1 key worked in all the buses.
I mean that’s the point!! It’s for ease of access and selling them!! U don’t move into a house with out first changing locks! Come on this is basic common sense!
Nice upgrade. Just remember that door can be pried open in a second with a long pry bar. I'd hookup magnetic sensors to all windows, doors, hatches, wheels ect. Then, hook those to at least two ungodly loud hidden sirens so they couldn't easily pinpoint the source of sound. Activate the system for when you leave. Thieves hate noise and light.
I just replaced my RV lock with one of these as well. Like the convenience and it allows me, as well as to allow others into my RV in the case I am delayed getting back, or of there is an emergency, so my pets can be let out. The beep the unit makes is pretty annoying though, but RVlock allows for a silent mode....just hold the #1 key down until the unit beeps. No more loud beep every time you lock/unlock the door.
Very good advice; I'm always aware and cautious, even securing outdoor chairs with cable lock if not stored into the trailer!
Adding 2 more locks on upper and lower sides of the main door might also be a good upgrade.
RVlocks is on our remodel to do list! So much easier than carrying keys.
Mine a 1990s carri lite rv so idk what my rv keys are since i lost them
Swapping the non-locking latch on the storage bay door is a great idea. Y'all have a very natural delivery even when slipping in +4 words like ubiquitous. :-)
Hahaha thanks Dave 😁
@@FateUnbound If Dave shows up I'll tell him you replied. :-)
Hahahaha that's right! Sorry DAVID!! 🤣😂😅
Very good video about the locks. I never thought about changing both sides on the storage bay doors with the tumbler locks. I'll tell my friend who takes care of the "outside" of the RV. Thank you!
I like the "One Key to Rule Them All"...single key for the front door and all the storage bay locks...very cool. Thanks for the video and give Sweetie a hug an pets for us. Safe Travels!
Hugs for Sweetie from Mark!
Hey guys just letting you know the ridges on the lock tumbler nut for the storage compartments face the door not out . They are designed to dig into the material. It prevents the the nut from vibrating loose.
This is good to know I’m glad you are doing this video! Safety is important!
i gotta tell you bud , your videos are on point, thank you for sharing your knowledge, i have been thinking about this for a couple of years, the wife and i camped a lot on tents thru the years and three years ago we bought a 20 ft camper and it has completely changed camping, boy we have been missing out, again thanks for helping us noobs out , an your wife as well.
I have this same front door lock. While I was watching the video my dog was looking around thinking he was going camping!! 😂
Hahaha it's hilarious how dogs catch on to sounds right?
Fate Unbound Can you disable the sounds on the lock? Just watching this video my dog keeps jumping every time you hit the button lol!
Sometimes a cheap and low tech solution works just as well. Put one of those "smile you're on camera" signs in the window and a decoy camera above the door.
I don't remember David being so excited as when installing that keyless entry lock, lol. Actually I was too. Wow! Looks very easy to install. I don't usually watch these types of videos, but I enjoyed this one. Very nice, short yet very informative. You always make it interesting👍
I installed one of the RVLocks on my trailer a couple of years ago and has been trouble free and is very nice upgrade. Good video. Happy RV'ing.
@@ariesradke6193 Well how many people do you know that would sit long enough to try out 256 possible combinations? once a minute would be over 4 hrs. or every 30 seconds would be over 2 hours. In reality a good crow bar would make it easy to open a door no matter the door lock. :)
Awesome video! Glad you are a part of the RVLock family!
LOVE the idea of chg'g the "finger-grip" to lockable, David! Frankly, hadn't thought about doing that; duh, to me! Have seen a vid showing how to turn the "chime" off on the door lock; seems making it "silent" is a good idea, especially, if others are nearby. Enjoy your vids a lot, David (and Jenni)!!! Y'all Be Safe!
RV manufacturers have been using that same 751 key forever. Our old 1958 Oasis has the same lock and so does our 2017. And it goes across all brands. I found that out when I worked for Fleetwood years ago.
Wow that's pretty scary thanks for sharing I'll have to check my locks.

Thank you for supporting the channel ♥ If we've done our jobs we've inspired someone to chase their dreams!
Did you lose that storage door, It's a different color than the lower half of your RV?
Don't forget the sticker that says
Never mind the dog , I'm a gun owner
Hahaha, true that! Also a 'Protected by ADT' sticker🤣
The touchpad also reveals your numbers in time . Wear patterns show up from skin oils and simple dirt over time.
Just change the code then
I had no idea about the key and locks... Wowzers!.... I am so glad you changed it and shared the info because I write down all the safety items you use so that when we buy or trailer we have the same safety feeling if we leave the trailer anywhere... thank you so much for even taking the time to do these videos.. so grateful I share it with my husband and he thinks it's cool that I'm learning from you guys and just Thank you... The site where you are is really beautiful... love you guys along with Sweetie, Butters, Alice, Min and Tat... you have a beautiful family... I know this is a tad late but Happy Mothers Day Jenni💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🍦🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🍀
David, please please please don't forget one of the most important security elements: your laser-sighted, nuclear-tipped, automatic-deployed, computer-controlled M-60 with blue-tooth control and monitoring! I'd recommend mounting on a fully recessed, swivel base, but that's just me.
omg! I checked the number on my storage key, same as yours! That is so good to know. Thanks David, I am having my locks changed ASAP. You are so smart :)
Surprising huh!
Yup....planning on changing my locks ASAP....
I have a CH751 on my keyring lol, it opens some cabinets at my office.
Thank you!! Great info. I learn something everytime I see your video. Have a great day!!
We just bought a 2016 model 😊 from your reviews 😊Thanks
huh, crazy, I just checked, your key is the same as mine, CH751, and I have a Rockwood trailer
This video was so helpful.I’m getting this lock and will install myself..was going to have a locksmith do it..but I’ll save $$ doing it myself.well done video..to the point!!👏👏👏
The FIRST thing we did when we changed to a tow behind was buy marine locks for the storage bays and rekey the door. That said, if folks want in, they’ll get in given enough time. Good thing is so far, we’ve never had any evidence of anyone trying to get in. I’m sure we’ve had Camp Crawlers, but so far, no harm!
Good to know. Great job showing us "how to"change out those locks! Thanks and be safe! Hugs from GA! :-)
Thanks for showing the install. Good job with the video. I appreciate your videos being very straight-forward to follow.
Waaay back in early 80's I locked my keys in my Cougar, an old Fairlane came by. His key opened my car. Phew! Scary tho.
Thank you for the info and on where to buy the new locks! Because of the many keys alike and just plain bad people out there ( only a few) I installed i- bolts in the floor near the doors and use quick open Ratchett straps from the i-bolts to the holes in the door handles to secure them at night ( hidden sissors near, just in case)! I also have always thought a center lock with bars ⬅️ 🔑 ➡️ on the back to lock the cargo doors on both sides!
I like the way you parked your truck on the back side of your RV. (IN THE SHADE) but it also looks like you're not there and it would kind of draw in people to your RV to "case it out" and you would get them on video. LOL haha, would-be crooks.
The ch751 key is also popular on ATM cabinets fwi
Back in the 80s my family belonged to a camping club with the Coachman brand. One day they discovered that at least 5 of them had the same key that could open any camper door. Different classes too..5th wheeler, truck camper etc
Thank you for this info. I was shocked when I checked the number on the key. I'll be switching locks asap!
Eufronia.
We found YOUR Moab BLM site! It's great, it was our first boon docking trip. Didn't know you before buying our camper, but find that we have the same floor plan. Its a 2020QB same as your's just newer. We were able in just 4 days to see Arches, Dead Horse, and Canyonlands. Our dag ( COCO a 150 lb Mastiff ) loved it too. Thanks for sharing your travels.
Good video and makes you think about all keyed locks, doesn't it? The noise made my dog look around for something in the room!
Place a dog bowel with water outside your door along with a LARGE chew toy.... that will help deter!
Thanks for this vid! It's great to see the keyless entry works on a travel trailer. When I was researching I was seeing units that only fit 5th wheelers. :-) Thanks again!
Lol I’ve just found out about my compartment keys , yeah after been ripped off, but my entry door lock mechanism those keys are not far off from another key , wiggling, jiggling, around the key and some or little force it’ll open the lock , try to tell that to an Rv dealer he’ll tell you no way , thanks for the info on that v4 it’s more of a comfort there’s more keys that it’s harder to get in
One other RV channel had problems with the door not staying closed/locked they fixed it by thicker strike plates on the "wall" side and have "plans" for 3 different thickness of wall sided strike plates 1, 1.5. 2 MM I think by A company that makes face plates.
Yeah, we are doing this because I'm not trying to have to Kung Fu my way out of something because they skimp on the locks and keys. Haha. Thanks for this video!
nice lock but in the end a cordless sawzaw could cut out a foam and sheet metal door pretty quick the camera you have is definitely best defense and a gun considering your in no mans land! keep doing what your doing I love it and I will be there myself in a couple years.
Definitely like that system better. Great idea 💡. But I’m going to ask the dumb question anyways. Only because I use my cordless drill for almost everything, screwing stuff. Soon as you started I was like ok real screw driver. Then the last two screws to install on plate. Out comes that cordless drill. LOL. Sure they charge extra for the dog barking addition.
Love the idea of 1 key for all. Hate carrying around several keys. We have a toy hauler, so there are the 2 latches in the back as well for us. I see RVLock carries those too. I see a change-out in our future not just for security but for convenience as well. Great Video!
Thanks Jerry! Be sure to measure your tumbler locks first and compare them to the specs of what you're purchasing.
Haha @ sweetie barking , definitely a nice upgrade.
How about motion sensor audio of a mastiff roaring. Even Sweetie would be hiding under the bed.
Wow, I hate that sound of lock. But thanks David. Wonder if sound can be disabled.
No, but you can soften the sound with some foam installed in the interior.
You can stop the sound by holding the 1 key for a few seconds and if you want it back on just hold the 1 key again to reactivate it
Yep just checked CH751 on my keys
Very good to know!!!! I had no idea! I'll have to look at this ass soon as I get my camper! Thanks, guys!
When you lock the door, can you pull the door latch without it being stopped by the lock (neutral) or the door latch stops halfway because the lock is stopping it? Neutral is important because the locking mechanism cannot be damage if someone puts torque on the door latch while it is locked.
Sweetie was on the ball!!!
You gave me the first lesson on all of this and I am shocked by whats going on. You inspired me to go ahead buy the RV Lock system. But isn't true that their keys are also duplicated to one extent or another. Do you know if it is 1 out of 10? I think that they should be keyless because any key can be picked, and that means the whole system is no good.
I have a 2008 Keystone Cougar with CH751 keys for the storage locks lol.
I was thinking the same thing regarding the installation of two locks per storage door :-)
One thing which concerns me is that the gravity and city water connections are exposed on many travel trailers. I think your water connections may be in your storage bay but if not I've seen small lockable boxes which can be installed for water connections.
It will....I noticed that a couple years ago...they say the master lock on the front door is unique but who knows
I use to transport RV's from the manufactures in the Elkhart, IN area & take them to the dealers I had a master key that would unlock any RV trailer.
Awesome
What do you measure to determine if you need 5/8 or 7/8 etc.
I never worry about it, honest people are not going to break in to your trailer even with the same key. Dishonest people are going to take a rock, screw driver or hammer and bust a window or just punch through those flimsy doors including the entry door. Travel trailers just take a little more effort to get in than a tent even with the best locks.
As always another awesome video!!!! Very informative. Thanks!
I tried an RVLock and unfortunately it wasn’t a perfect fit with our Dexter door. After I installed the new handle I couldn’t latch the screen door to the new handle on the main door. Others apparently have had the same issue and had to shave a few millimetres off the inside handle in order to be able to properly latch the 2 doors together.
Thanks
I drive big rigs and same problem one key can open a bunch of different brand trucks and different years , that’s no joke
Is there somewhere I can go to watch your live stream videos? You guys share some great info on those and I like to go back and watch them.
The RVLocks mechanical storage locks do not come with an installation guide or diagram. I've spent the last three days trying to get their customer support to tell me where the black rubbery washer goes on the lock. From your video I saw that the clear plastic washer goes on the back of the storage door under the nut for the lock cylinder, but nothing shows were the black washer goes on the lock.
What about your batterys and propane, are they locked? Also your spare tire? Just saying! Happy Travels BobnRobin
Yeah
a duel axle,you can take a chain and feed it through wheels and padlock so no one can drive off with
Yep! We've thought about doing that.
Hopefully, your keypad lasts longer than ours did, year two and it has completely flaked off.
I love Sweeties bark!
The upper key is a 'master' key so dealers only need 1 key to unlock units on the lot.
Informative video. Nice job!
It looked like you would have had the same issue as I did for the baggage compartment where the locks were too deep. How did you fix that?
Since I left the handles on one side mine still close tight with the handle but are secured with the shared key lock but yours probably have a lot of play.
Also, I have the opposite problem with my outdoor kitchen where the shaft of the lock is deep enough and right now I do not have any security on that because of it (the old key broke off in one of the locks after I had ordered these locks and before the new ones arrived which made this a fun process). I contacted RV Lock for both these issues but they could not even provide any reccomendations let alone adapter parts.
Also, while I did get enough locks to do the main doors of my unit and one lock on each of the compartments, it is unlikely that I would be able to do the dual lock because they will only produce the key for a limited time and reportedly by them these are not servicable by a locksmith. If that had not been the case, I might have moved one of the two electronic locks I got to a second trailer I have and bought new passaive locks (one for each trailer) and baggage compartment locks for it as well.
Also, I am not sure if I did not get something tight enough or something, but mine did not like winter weather and not only iced up a couple of times but the electronics stopped workimg until it warmed up (I thought I just needed to change the batteries but that turned out not to be the case which was good as I have owned these for less than six months).
All that being said, I do like the product but still have some challenges to work through.
Thanks for the video
You're welcome!
Love to keyless entry!
Thank you for sharing all this info.. ⚘
I like the one key concept. The door lock looks to be battery powered. Is it rechargeable or does it need to be replaced, and if so, what kind of battery is it and how long is the life? I am inclined to keep things simple and stay with a mechanical only door lock. Thanks for this well done review.
They are double or tripple A batteries (I actually think they are double A but forget and would have to check though that should answer your question). They say that they require alkaline but come with lithium.
Thanks Paul for the additional information. Good to know it has batteries that are easy to obtain.
Our locks are powered by 4 AA batteries:)
Fate Unbound do you have a trailer ball lock
ch751 is a key part number the tumbler sets are different. please show you opening another storage door
Take your key to any RV dealer and see how many storage doors you can open.
Thank you😄
So I have 2 new 2019 travel trailers jayco and coachman and was concerned about security. After watching a few vids saying these keys can open other rv door locks I decided to take each set of keys and visit some local rv lots with several different brands... guess what? After trying maybe 20 different doors on 4 or 5 different makes I was able to work zero of the locks. I tried storage hatches and keys also and struck out. All my keys have different numbers on them not ch751. Looking at my two sets of rv keys I own they are cut very differently. So why is this? Have you tried different rv doors with your keys? I wonder if manufacturers are doing a better job of keying these things differently now. I'm sure eventually I would be able to open someone else's door but I'm feeling okay about the locks I have. A professional thief or evildoer with some tools will get in easily regardless of the lock/key.
Where can I get the tumbler locks
Nice channel Nice Show , very informative
I would put video cameras to see all sides
I have the same model trailer, what size of tumbler locks did you used?
On Amazon it says those camlocks cannot be removed in the unlocked position... so installing 2 would require 2 keys to unlock. Is this the case for you?
who locks them anyway ? Camping for 50 plus years only had one watermelon stolen in all my camping .
Thank you. Do you need a rubber gasket or sealant when replacing the tumbler locks to reduce risk of water entry?
The new tumbler locks I purchased have gaskets but my factory ones dont. So I don't think it's that big of a deal
Really useful awesome information but you have to take care of that sound it hurts the ears!
I thought so, because years ago I had a camper shell and those keys unlocked any other campers.
I do know.
If you plan your r.v. being your home , and not storing it on property that you own , then I would suggest changing your locks immediately .
What size were the tumbler locks on the bay doors? (I have the same RV as you)
Does the lock come with the bark?
Hahahaha nope, scary Rottweiler sold separately!
In the video, the front door lock appears to have dual keyholes; one top, and one bottom. I wonder why that would be?
One locks the handle and the other is a deadbolt lock. Much like the setup on a house door.
Omg I have ch751 too 😂
I like the scary Rottweiler sold separately! but I sure would not like his food bill. I think I will just change my locks will be a lot cheaper.
