Closet Safe? Combination reset?

Hey all, anybody know anything about this safe. It is in the closet of our coach and I cannot find any information about it. Cannot get in as I do not have the combination. Bought coach from a consignment lot last year and of course they did not have anything on it. Maybe Foretravel factory could help? Figure there is a reset sequence or something. Anyway, Thought I'd ask here first....  Thanks, Keith

Found our combo in the manuals that came with the coach.
Other than that I think you can call Foretravel, some documentation may be required.

Yes double check your paperwork. I got a combo from Foretravel but it was wrong. I cut the back off to access the mechanical lock on our coach. Changed combo to what I wanted and welded up. I think sometime I will go back and extend its length to be oversized but fit in the area. Currently it is short for the cases that I would like to carry in it.

Foretravel should have the combination if it hasn't been changed over the years. If they don't a good locksmith can probably replace the lock. Personally I prefer a manual dial to a pushbutton lock. No batteries to worry about.

Try the easy combos first...123456, etc.

So at the suggestion from Scott, DSD, I totally emptied out the "treasure chest " and began going thru all books and manuals to double check for safe information. About 3/4 of the way thru the Advantium cookbook, very effective hiding spot BTW, EUREKA, a plastic envelope with safe instructions and a code in sharpie on outside of plastic. It worked... and It's true, you find what you're looking for in the last place you look. Thanks to all who replied. Oh and FYI, did research on the safe company, Protex, and they have a great website and are still in business in Irwindale, Ca. .. I was going to call them today for help. No need now. Thanks again...

DSD... no such luck. Moths flew out... just like my wallet. Some cash, gold bars, or a new gun would have been nice though...haha..

I recommend drilling two 3/16 holes in the inside  bottom of the fire box and installing a couple of long drywall screws. Reduces the fire protection but help secure in place.
