I foolishly lost the keys to my 2015 RPod 179. What is the best way to replace the keys? Through the dealer? On-line? Locksmith?

If online, what site would you suggest? And what brand of key does the RPod take?

As you can tell, I am very new to this and need a fair amount of guidance!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dave

Hey Dave, the number matters. Your storage areas have a standard RV key CH751, pretty much an RV standard, Your door lock and key is a Baur. My key is marked 305, not sure other members have same key. You can try dealer, simple call. A locksmith can help but most need a key to replicate. I looked on Baur website and they can provide a replacement key, but they want to know number on present key. I did not see a number on the Baur lock. I have not looked inside. Best I can do for now.

I saw on this forum somewhere (I realize that the lack of specifics is not very helpful :-)) that someone switched to a digital keypad lock set. It fit right in where the key one is. Maybe now is the opportunity for that kind of mod.

The only problem you'll have is remembering the code... which can be a challenge for me!

I switched out all the locks to it like the post said.

afraid you might have to go with a locksmith, and have key made.
