We misplaced the key to the to the water tank, sometime ago. Being on hookups and not boon docking,we weren't too concerned. Well today it but us in the butt, the park water is out and we sorta have a ETA when it will be on again, We have very little water in the tank at the moment, not that having a key to open it will make any difference as we don't have a source to add water from at the moment. We just want to insure that should this happen again we have water in the tank for emergency.

So we know that Amazon sells CH keys that are for all compartments, there is no mention of for fresh water tank. CH 506 which we have fits right into the lock but won't turn. Anybody know which key works with this lock? Could it be one of the other CH Keys, we don't want to have to call a locksmith if we can avoid it Thanks
 
Typically on the face of the lock cylinder there is a number. I say typically because I have seen some of these without numbers as well.
 
Find someone camping near you and theirs would probably fit, just saying.

Interesting idea, but we would still need to have our own key.

Unfortunately for us this lock cylinder face has no numbers.
 
If you can find out what key number will open it, you can order a new key. Alternatively, once the hatch is unlocked, you can go to Walmart/Home Depot/Lowes and buy a
mailbox type cam lock set (with 2 new keys) and replace the cam lock in just a few minutes. Put the 2nd spare" key in a drawer (we keep ours in a small metal money box) and the other can go on whatever ring you typically keep the key on.
 
You can buy a new key directly from Winnebago. They're typicaly less than $10 plus postage for snail mail.
