Default Hood Keylocks on a '93 Sunsport

I have a '93 SunSport. It is in pretty great shape, but when I purchased it there were 5 barrel keys for the hood latches included. Unfortunately, all but one of the keys were broken.

I assume that if the previous owner stripped out 5 keys, I will probably end up needing a replacement for the one that now works. I tried a couple of local key shops and RV dealers, but they said the manufacturer would be the only one with a key.

I called Gulf Stream to get a duplicate key, and they said they don't have any.

I tried ordering new locks through a local RV dealer to eliminate need for the barrel keys, but when the new ones came I found out there are no off-the shelf locks that work on the hood, as it has a feature that pulls the hood down as you twist the lock. (not common for any other cabinet or basement keys).

Does anyone here on the forum know source for hood keys, replacement locks, or other modifications that will work? I live in fear I will be out on the road and break the last key in the world, effectively locking me out from servicing the engine, batteries, hydraulics, etc.
