Hi, forgive me if this is in the wrong place.
I had a question on what experience anyone might have on selecting and fitting vehicle security to their campers?
Cheers!

Re: Security systems
Not something that people really like to discuss online. No-one wants to post up details of how they've thief-proofed their vehicle - sort of defeats the object.
General consensus is that you have a good visible deterrent, plus a good invisible one. So put a krooklok on the steering wheel, or a pedal lock on the pedals, but also fit an alarm, preferably with a 'kill-switch' or something similar, where it can't be easily spotted or by-passed.
Some do fit trackers (and some have recovered vehicles that way) but you're into ongoing costs there (with monthly charges, or mobile phone bills), plus a method of keeping the thing charged and working. You pays your money, etc...
Good luck.

Re: Security systems
I agree with the above, but also adding a good wheel clamp. I have seen/ heard stories where the van has been wheeled away and then put on a truck. I have one and also turn the front wheels into the kerb. Or a locked secured alarmed garage might help[THUMBS UP SIGN]
