It's even worse than that.
As I discovered this week when I got
my faulty door replaced, Amos doesn't grab locksets on the assembly line, he grabs whole doors with locksets already on them! That certainly makes it uneconomical for a manufacturer to provide keyed-alike doors.
When I went to pick up my rig after the door repair, my key wouldn't work. Then the service guy hands me two new keys. I told him I already went through the effort to make my doors keyed-alike and I would like my original lock, please. Apparently, this has never been an issue before. He argued that the work order didn't say anything about retaining the old lock. I rebutted that it didn't say anything about the locks being changed, either, and I had no way of knowing how Lippert shipped doors. He had to find the old door (and my old key), and swap the latch back out. Between this and other delays at his shop, this "two-hour, same-day" service issue will be six days old by the time I get to pick it up.
And of course, they want to charge me twice what they quoted. They even wanted to charge me the "non-member" service rate by claiming I didn't buy the rig there. Now, if that were my next rig, they'd be right.
In reality, I’m hoping this does NOT catch on at other campgrounds.
