Good point! Thanks for watching.

Yes, I knew that and was just testing everybody.... i must write that name down somewhere..... thanks!

Not by a gust of wind but a wifey shouting from the back, "the doors don't close" as I hear 'bang, bang, bang' :-(

@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 thank you very much

Good question. I see security as a double sided thing, security when in the van and security when away from the van. the solidfy is very useful when inside as it is easy to apply from the top bunk in addition to the central locking when you go to bed, you don't want deadlocks on when in the van for our own safety to get out if needed. the solidfy however is very awkward to get at on a regular basis when leaving the van parked somewhere, hence the deadlock from the outside. the same applies to the deadlock and internal chain on the sliding door. hope that helps, all the best.

@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 Thanks, yes, that helps me understand. As I've only got a L1H1 with really easy access to the SolidFy I'll probably just stick with that. I've got internal locks on the cab doors and generally go in/out through the sliding door, so I'll probably put a hooklock on that, as you have. Hope you're enjoying your camper, the finish is superb, way better than mine.

Um... I think they are more a visual deterrent for the opportunist. yes they lock, yes they hold the door but wouldnt cope against a crowbar very well I dont think. for me they work well as I have the deadlocks for when I'm away from the van and the thule cab locks for overnight when I'm in the van. i dont use the deadlocks overnight for 'escape' reasons should something happen and you need to exit quickly. Ive just thought that the front door deadlocks are not in the video, if not then I did fit them afterwards...

Thanks for eh message. No, you did dream it as I did not film that install as did not want to advertise what/where it was. think about what would prevent the van from starting if it did not receive its 12v signal when the key is turned, on mine the engine turns over but wont start, even if you 'hot wired' it or plugged into the OBD with a laptop to bypass the immobiliser it wont start as it is a 'mechanical' device on the engine that is 'switched' ! as to the switch itself, in plain sight disguised as something else is what I have done. hope that helps in some way, reluctant to blab it all out on the channel, I'm sorry!

Wiltshire Custom Camper thanks so much! I think what I did was watch the video that you linked and got confused! I’m actually looking at a product which does this remotely, kills the fuel pump if vehicle gets stolen, will let you know how it goes. Plan on using this alongside the manual one that you have done! Belt and braces! Keep well my friend

I tend to get lots of 'skidding' with angle grinders (obviously my technique) but thanks for the tip.

ah yes, not so much for UK travels (apart from the 'pikey' parts of the country) but more for travels around EU and further afield as it is an easy target for 'chancers'!

What do you mean, I made a point to tidy it especially ? 😃

@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 haha 👍

Nice to hear Canada is nice and safe, a shame UK, France and Spain is not the same, a few seconds spent locking up tight is well worth it. thieves wont bother to smash a window if they realise they wont be able to open the door anyway, it is all about deterrent!
