RV keys - are they all the same?

[castore357]

I'd like to put a rumor to rest or confirm.
I was told by a relative (who also owns an rv), that all rv's built in a particular yr by a company (i.e. alliance) are all keyed alike. Is this true?
Example:
All 2024 Alliance Valor would have the same keys.

It is very likely.

I do not believe that to be true. Having said that, there are few key combinations with the type of lock that is used.

In the past, across manufacturers, everyone could have had the same compartment key, like a CH751. The entry door would have been different. Dealerships had master keys that would work on the paddle latch, but not the deadbolt. I imagine they still do.

With the one key system, there are many more key codes, so no, they aren't all alike.

I can tell you that most people who got a Valor in 2021 had a combination Bauer 257 and CH751 for most of the storage doors/leveling/gas/compressor with the rear ramp being a Bauer 253. Saying this means I respectfully disagree with you.
