K&E,
I got to thinking about this and here is a few ideas you may wish to consider. Look around the area of the safe for the combination. I would not be surprised if it wasn't written inside a drawer or on the bottom or back of a drawer, inside a nearby cupboard, or on the inside of a cabinet door.
On other coaches we have seen hand written numbers that didn't make sense until we figured out the owners didn't trust their memory so they wrote the numbers in a nearby place.
I will send an email with some specifics.
