I had a cheap tongue lock like you showed, yellow with a U-bolt style latch. Those style locks are easy to pry off the ball coupler in no time. I now use a Fort Knox brand puck on my trailer. This lock too could be removed if the thief wants to spend the time to do it, but this lock is way more difficult to remove. It gives me more peace of mind. Thanks for the tips.

I use a t-mobile sync tracker hidden inside the electrical breaker box backside. I installed a fused USB connector which the tracker plugs into. The wattage is so,so low it won't effect your battery charge as long as you have solar package. This is what works for us for 8 months so far. Just add tons of locks to wheels and tongue. Criminals want quick,easy items. The criminals will move to an easier target if you have like 5 locks and the trailer next to yours only has one lock. I know which one they'll go after. Lol. Removing your batteries is a fantastic idea you mentioned. As an electrician I installed 150 amp quick connect to my batteries. I just quickly unplug the connector and batteries are out. I just made short 2' pigtails to every battery that stays connected to them. I know others who had they're propane tanks stolen so that's great idea with like the E-trailer propane tank locks. Have every serial number at home in case of being stolen.

I haven't heard of the sync tracker but that sounds like an awesome option. The battery pigtails are pretty sweet too!

Giving your RV/trailer/property a "fingerprint" is a wonderful idea. I'll be adding a gps tracker to both my truck and rig. My setup might not be top dollar, but it's MINE and that makes it worth protecting.

@rvgearandfar Ай бұрын

Any thoughts on which tracker you'll try out?

Nice, a lot of Great information. I use a GPS TRACKER. If my RV moves I get a massage. And it also lets me know where it is by the hour. And yes a pay a fee for this.

@rvgearandfar I'm the camp host at Pelican Point RV Park at Cherry Point MCAS. I'm thinking about using the Ring system (or similar) since I have shore power. Not only is it good for security but will allow me to service guests if I'm not in the area. I'm having a new 31KQBTS delivered to me soon and first thing I'll do is cut the tow chains to the third link and then add a heavy duty carabiner. This way my tow chain can't be used by thieves very easily. Sorry for rambling. 😂🤣

Wait - it you're scared rats are going to climb up, you don't lower stabilizers all the way to the ground? How do you stabilize the RV then? And let's be clear, rats can jump, just like Woody Harrelson... Good information tho!

@rvgearandfar Ай бұрын

When it’s parked and not in use I don’t need it stabilized- just put the tongue jack or landing gear down.

What do you do if you rented RV out for 3 days and then renter doesn't return it? It happened to be. They've had it over 6 months and they refuse to tell me where its located so I can go get it. I did a stolen report but they haven't done much about finding the couple who have it. I've given the addresses and phone numbers of the couple but they haven't done anything. What should I do? Anyone got any advise? HELP!

That would activate your electric trailer brakes- definitely drain your coach battery and then wouldn’t add anything when there is no power

Do you have any knowledge or experience with Wi-Fi security cameras? Since we always have Wi-Fi I’m interested in getting a couple I can install on our camper. I know the cameras will need to be removable for travel so that would need to be considered.
