Lost your motorhome key before or during your trip? DKP travels to the vehicle, even a campsite or rest area, to replace the base-vehicle key (Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter…) and program it on site, 24/7 across Europe. Price in the 29 to 390 € range, quoted before the call-out.
Losing a motorhome key is often the worst timing: the eve of the big departure, or worse, mid-trip, hundreds of miles from home. And because the motorhome is both the vehicle and the accommodation, the stakes are doubled. The good news: a lost motorhome key is replaced on site, right where the vehicle is parked, without ruining the holiday or repatriating the motorhome in a panic.
This is the essential point to understand. A motorhome is made up of a habitation body (the living area) mounted on a base chassis (the driving part). The ignition key that starts the vehicle is the base-vehicle key, not a system specific to the body converter. And in the vast majority of cases, that base vehicle is a:
Replacing a motorhome key therefore comes down to replacing the key of the matching van, with the diagnostic equipment suited to the base-vehicle make. The habitation body generally has its own door and locker locks, often on a separate barrel.
When you call, the key piece of information is not the name of the body converter but the make of the chassis (Ducato, Sprinter, Transit…), shown on the registration document. The technician then prepares the right equipment before setting off.
Away from home, the panic reflex is to look for the nearest dealer. But in peak season, abroad or at the weekend, getting an appointment and an ordered key can take several days, so many nights stuck. The mobile call-out solves the problem at the parking spot. With DKP covering 11 European countries, the network can often attend wherever you are, without you having to move the vehicle.

Every DKP technician is trained in-house at the DKP Académie, and each call-out is covered by professional liability insurance (RC Pro), with non-destructive methods that preserve the vehicle.
Many motorhome owners have a single key. Copying it before departure, while it still works, costs less than an emergency replacement at a holiday spot and spares you a ruined trip. It is the reflex to adopt every spring, before the season.
Since the key is the base-vehicle key, the price follows the van logic: a range of 29 to 390 € depending on whether it is a remote key or a hands-free key, the exact figure depending on the chassis make and its year. DKP quotes the price before the call-out, once the base vehicle is identified: the price quoted is the price charged. See also our car key replacement cost guide.
