i suspect its just a cargo door. likely will have to go through the inside and disassemble the lock (usually one screw takes the lock tab off) then you can buy a generic lock kit and replace it. (at least in ours you can get to the backside of it, its under the bed/bench etc
im not 100% on any of that but matches what i have seen before....
can anyone else confirm?

Try a nail file. Quite often there was little to these locks and they may open with something that almost resembles a key. If that does not work I believe Offspringin is right, it should come apart easily from inside, and should also be easy to find a replacement. It is a baggage compartment, and if my guess is right, there is a sofa bench or a dinette bench inside that corner. This should open up from inside and give you access to the compartment. They were commonly used for the jackstands, wheel chocks, etc., things you may not want laying around loose inside the camper.

Sounds right to me, offspring.
Either access the cargo space from inside or completely remove the door frame from the outside. Replacing those locks will cost under $5.00 and can be picked up at Lowes or any box store.

Good call Ross, thats another idea if you want to just pull that door off, take all the screws out. Be aware you will need to reseal it properly as once its pulled the seal is no good (may be dried out as it is and you may want to replace it anyway)
Our key is a very generic aluminum key so the nail file trick may work as well.
And as far as storage goes, i agree with Chris, we have jack-stands, dolly wheel, leveling blocks, chocks, hoses, some cords, things of that nature in ours.

Which door is it?
Door #1: A NEW car with a gift certificate for a year's worth of dairy products!
Door #2: Six months of products from the Wisconsin Dairy Farmers' Association!
Door #3: Your own goat, complete with milking pail, stool, and hat!

On ours (same model as yours) it is just an access panel. When you get it open you will probably just see what ever is stored under your sofa seat. We going to put things there that we will need quick access to (like jack stands and such)

All of my cargo doors open with a pocket knife. It's worth a try.
