I'm a new owner of a used 2004 Southwind 32VS. I have two keys on my key rings that I do not know what they are for, they are a number 701 & 702. They are not compartment keys, door keys, gas door keys etc... anybody have a 32v with these keys who can help? Thanks in advance.

Some keys you should have:

An ignition key
Two different door lock keys (main entry door)
A bay door key (may be same as one front door key)
A key for the compartment with the water fill inlet.

Thanks for responding, I do have those keys you referenced to as well. I just can't figure out what the 701 & 702 keys lock and unlock.

On our Bounder, those keys unlock the front engine compartment cover (round indentations lower corners) & the rear storage compartment cover (black rectagles upper corners). Pics below.

Our unit has a steel lock box in the kitchen closet that takes a different key...

I really appreciate the suggestions but so far no luck with my mystery keys. I have the keys that open everything mentioned so far no closer to identifying what these go to.
Keep the suggestions coming please.

1. Just because they have different numbers have you tried them in each lock?

2. Possibly a previous owner changed some locks and never threw away the old keys.

3. Did you purchase it from a dealer who may have added keys to the wrong ring.

4. Throw them in a drawer and don't worry unless you find something you can't unlock.

What make are the keys? Small, large, brass or silver?

Could they be for your slide out lock inside (mine hang there)? Or maybe some for a locking pin for your tow bar (mine are)? Do you have a bike rack that requires keys (mine does). Is there a spare tool chest in the basement or anywhere else needing keys (I do). Could it be for a key locker (mine is combination)? Gas cap (if so you will find out soon enough)? MAybe the previous owner had a PU with a camper---sounds like a shell camper lock key (I have one)?

Here's what they look like. I'm at a loss for what yours would open since ours do the front/rear hatches. You might try calling Fleetwood.

Safe deposit box at local bank? could be the factory rebate is still there.

Might be for an extra tow bar lock or something no longer with your rig

Or for missing locking fuel caps...

My driver-side storage compartments come out with the slide-out. There is a locked door at the rear end to slide longer things into the compartment such as a ladder or kayak or what have you. Do you have something similar?

Oh, I forgot about that. Yes, that's another possibility. The compartment door looks like this:
