replace lost key

hello
I recently bought a 2002 fourwinds 23A class C RV .
There are no keys to the coach door.
No Key codes to be found.
I even opened up the door handle and there was no key code inside either.
Only numbers were and engraving " 51-V "

I believe the lock is a Tri Mark 37575-01-K

I am looking to just replace the tumbler.
I don't know how to find the replacement tumbler ( searched for 2 days )
And
I don't thing I can remove the tumbler that I have without the key.
So I think I'm left with drilling it out and hope I can get it out and find a replacement once its out.

Any words of wisdom would be welcome
thanks
Kip

Remove the latch and take it to a locksmith
They can then make keys

No need to remove the latch. Just drive the motorhome to a locksmith. He has master keys to remove the tumblers from the front.

A locksmith can do miracles for you in changing all your compartment keys and such, key'd alike to greatly reduce key confusion.

I had my locksmith key-alike the deadbolt and regular lock in the entry door, using a rectangular blank. All other locks have a different keyset, so they require a different key. All of that type are key'd alike with a round blank for easy ID. So I went from 5 keys, to 3 keys. You can imagine, this helps immensely in the dark, feeling for the rectangular key, teeth down to get inside.

1) Ford chassis key
2) rectangular entry door key (for both locks)
3) round key for all compartments and spare tire.

Don’t drill. You might make it a worse situation than doing what is suggested by the members above my post.

Considering that it's a 23 year old lock, I'd replace the entire thing, and consider going with a new lockset from https://www.rvlock.com/. Keyed, keypad, and wireless fob all in one.
