Help lost keys!

We have lost the keys for our folding camper, any ideas apart from drilling the locks out?

Is it locked shut then so you can't open it up? If so could you drive to the locksmith?

Nope, the tow bar hitch is locked

It's a bloomin' nuisance.

We went for a coffee after going there a couple of days ago and DH reckons he may have taken them out of his pocket/or they fell out when getting his Canderel out. Have checked the farm shop, no luck.

Sorry GG running out of ideas. Can't understand why a locksmith wouldn't travel to a camp site - surely he could maintain distancing easily.

Last suggestion I'm afraid. You have a car with a locked tow bar so you can drive it but not tow the camper? Any local tow bar fitters/garages you could drive to? Can camp site operator help find a company?

The hitch lock is on the camper.
They were a bit "sniffy" about caravans etc. They only serviced cars

Going to ring the Caravan Club to see if they have any ideas, it's stored on one of their sites.

When we were locked out of our touring caravan (years ago), another person on site suggested trying their key - it fitted. There are a limited number of key patterns for most campers and caravans.
Alternatively, if you have the number of the key, they are usually available from a caravan accessory shop, again usually not many versions of each type of key. They may let you borrow a few to try if you leave a deposit.

Found a mobile locksmith willing to come over. All 5 locks done £120. Could be worse I suppose.
