Security , Locks ??
« on: July 31, 2012, 08:26:19 PM »
Howdy,

Just wondering what products or techniques you use for when you leave your campsite for the day ?
To protect your goods and camper from theft. 

Would appreciate any idea's.

If you wanna be sure, take it with you. If they want it they will take it.

Just hide it out of sight best you can.

But then is it a soft floor or van or..?

Make it just hard enough that they will leave you alone & steal from someone else [not a swagger I hope]

Pull the Steel Cable End out (is a cable)... run it through your stuff... put end through Locking Bracket Hole... put padlock through hole in Steel Cable End.

Sheeeesh... and they trust you with a vehicle and kids!

this should give you an idea how they work. Cable is retractable. These are handy, and if mounted its never left at home. A mate has his in his ute to lock in some tools or the bikes if leaving them un attended.

Nothing much else worth pinching in the Jayco and readily replaced anyway although one key for the door, front and side hatch and water filler is on the shopping list-

I can see the bigger problem for trailers loaded up with 6B&S, etc.
Beware of those copper thieves eh!  :police:
