I picked up matched tubular locks from a local locksmith. These are the same type you see on vending machine. These locks have been used for years and provide extremely good protection. Inexpensive and with a pair of locks you get 4 keys.

The problem with the combo lock is if it gets gummed up, you may not be able to operate it. Plus with a little time, a combo can be opened by a thief. I speak from experience, having had a storage locker high end combo picked. Teenager did it on a dare from friends and swiped CB radio equipment.

To answer your question, I believe it is 7/8”. Try rvlocksandmore.com. I’ve rekeyed my 751 tumblers to match my door key.

Just keep in mind it sure is great when you misplace your 751 key and ten neighbor campers have one that will fit hehe...
Saved me a couple of times hehe... Then the latest truck I got had a push-button entrance on the door so now I keep all of the spare keys in the truck glove box. All of the real important items is always kept in the truck anyway. Insurance will cover all of the other items that could be stolen...
So far since owning the RV since 2008 I have never been broken into at the camp grounds. Storing my RV at home probably helps me as well...

I like those tubular locks for durability, and for the fact that they at least look higher security then the 751 locks everyone has. However, I know back in my teen years I was able to pick a few of those using the barrel of a ballpoint pen. I believe it was the Bic "round stic" style, and it was just the right diameter to be pressed in and turned.
Not that I'm too worried about security. Anyone serious about getting in will have no issues, and like mentioned above, insurance is a beautiful thing.

I also used rvlocks and more, I believe they are 7/8" and I was able to use the same latch bar. I also changed the outside shower lock, but had to make a thick washer as the 7/8" was a bit too long
IIRC I gave them my door key number and they keyed them to match, so now I only need a single key.

Which size will fit then if I get the keys from the link you provided. Nothing seems to be 7/8

This one is 7/8. I believe you need to order two at the same time and they should be keyed alike. I picked mine up from a locksmith shop.

The 5th needed 3 different keys to open the door and storage compartments. RVLocksAndMore sold me what I needed. They could match the slam hatch locks (4) and I ordered a new entry lock, battery compartment and front storage hatch locks, a total of 3. Each new lock came with 2 Keys so I now have plenty of spares and a single key will open everything.
My new entry latch is of a much higher quality, operates very smooth and is all metal. Drive out was around $70 IIRC. And no more 751’s.
