Best way to secure camper trailer from theft at home & while traveling

Hi Jomi

Here are a few ways - do singly or do a number at the same time -some work better when shedded others suit the field.

Put a big chain thru the wheel and around the axle and padlock- it will slow them down.

If you have a Tregg type hitch get a hi-tensile bolt and padlock it through the coupling hole. There are aftermarket versions of this available.

Wheel clamp

Take a wheel off

Best way to stop the theft of them from the forum is not to leave them unattended on these pages.
You cannot trust anyone on here at all

In a more serious vein, get sone big chain, wrap it round the axel and the the rim and padlock it. If you have enough chain do both rims and axel/chassis

I read references to chain above. But the theifs will always have a bolt cutter in the back.

I would get the biggest chain that I can reasonably put through the wheels and around the axle and then go to a lock shop and get the biggest padlock, again within reason, and a padlock cover for said padlock.

The chain that I used was made from links about two inches across with the metal diameter just thick enough to allow the chain to be flexible.

Then I would make sure that every single thing in it is covered by insurance.

No!! Not a bundle of browns. Tempting isn't it. You could always put a sign on the door warning them of the snakes. They take it - they get killed - shame - they were warned. Ain't my problem. I don't think I would do that but it did cross my mind.

Another idea. Go to a locksmith and ask them. May be fruitful. Asking costs nothing.

If it's a pain in the bum for you to lock it up, then it's a pain in the bum for the thief to try and unlock it.

You will never stop a determined thief, but you can make it hard for them to get it. The more deterrents you have the better.
