Hey Mike,

Cheerfully lifted from the ever useful http://www.vanagon.com/ site:

OEM replacement water tank keys are available from:

Euro-American RV Products (AKA Delta Six Enterprises) 2506 Douglas Dam Road, Sevierville,Tennessee 37876

+1 423.908.9384 +1 423.908.8132 fax

Key blanks If you wish to make your own water-tank key there are blanks that will work. According to Steve Sandlin of Steve's Lock Shoppe "The key blank is an ILCO DM31. As a substitute, you can use the ILCO 1092 C or Y12. This is a US manufatured equivalent of the DOM key originally used. It is an exact replacement. The ILCO 1092C and Y12 both must be shortened to work, but could be used in a pinch."

I went to a local locksmith who picked the lock to open it and then replaced it with a high quality German cabinet lock that works just fine. Cost me 30 bucks and took about half an hour. This is when I first got my Westy last year --- now I'd probably just fill the tank through its top opening under the cabinet under the rear table and wait 'til my new key arrived in the mail.

Cheers, Doug '84 Westy Toronto, Canada
