Unhappy Potable water

Previous owner had only one key for the unit, Entry door lock.
As luck would have it the Potable water is locked closed. Entry Key door does not fit... Is it possible that this lockis common?

Humm. Try some other RV keys to see if they fit. I don't know for sure on Airstreams (and our Airstream doesn't have a locable potable water cover), but on other rigs we've had here, the keys to compartments were not particularly unique.

Otherwise, I'd just call a true-blue locksmith. They're pretty good at what they can do!
