We have a few solutions for you.

Unfortunately, there isn't any documentation which door latch (and therefore the key) is used by each manufacturer. You may need to call Forest River to see if they have records of this.

Looking at videos for the camper, the latch looks very similar to the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit with Keyed Alike Option - White, part # 295-000021. If after your call, you find that this is indeed the correct latch, then you will know it's Global Link and will need to know the key number to get replacements.

If it is the Global Link latch and you do not know the key number, then you can replace the core. You will have to uninstall the core and measure its length. Here are the lengths and their replacement cores:

7/8" - # 295-000003
1-1/8" - # 295-000004
1-3/8" - # 295-000005
1-3/4" - # 295-000077

If you can't replace the core or the latch turns out to be something else without options for replacement keys, then you will have to replace the latch with the one from above, part # 295-000021. You only need to make sure the cutout dimensions are 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall. I've linked to a video review of this latch for you to look at.
