I also use a Realtors box, except this one is designed to hasp over a doorknob, but it also fits exactly over a 1x2 piece of steel square stock. It has a combo lock and that is covered by a sliding door to protect it. I keep a complete set of keys in there.

We use a magnetic mount lock box too. You can place it in any of several places and it does not have to be hidden, since you need a combination to open it anyway. Propane compartment, fridge access door, water heater compartment, engine area,, utility bay, etc.

The only problem I see with a magnetic mount is the whole box could grow legs and disappear!

Granted, they wouldn't get into your coach, but neither could you if it turned up missing! I like the Realtor Lockbox idea, where do you purchase one of those?

If you're not planing on using a toad, try a hitch receiver locking compartment

I hide mine in the hot water compartment under a metal shelf.

I used the box kind, It is bolted in my propane compartment, The box I have has 10 buttons.. You push the right ones (and that can be 1,2,3,4,5 ......, all 10 YOU SELECT) then push a lever and it opens, inside are the door keys.

Push the wrong ones,, No joy.

Excellent suggestion

I have mine in a magnetic key box in a zip lock plastic bag to keep the moisture out under the coach near the side for easy recovery. You have to look for it to find it if you don't know where it is. I have an extra complete set in the coach if I lose or locked out. I just store the door and dead bolt key outside. In fact, I have extra keys for all my cars somewhere on the outside if it ever happens to our personal cars. My kids do the same thing. It just saves a lot of embarrassments.
