Each company I contacted say they do not make a keyless handle that replaces the vertical handle. Has anyone tried to make one fit. I’m thinking of removing the vertical handle using some aluminum and covering the hole then recutting a new hole that would fit the horizontal keyless handle. Thoughts from some of the experts out there.

IMHO unless the original is broken keep it!
Our last 5er had the keyless with the entry buttons seperate from the handle, every time it rained or I washed the rig it would fill with water & wouldn't unlock the door, fortunately hadca key in the truck. I had remove 2 VERY tiny screws from the bottom while standing on my head, they were very awkward to get to, remove the little flat battery & let it dry out so it would stop beeping & start working. A real PITA! The last time it occurred when I removed the battery I left it out & used the key. RV Lock customer service sent the "new & improved" replacement a couple different times, but same thing.
So keep the original & be sure to hide a key somewhere.
