Topic: Camper locks Posted: 15 Mar 2018 at 4:33pm |
Issue of course is, they don't know until they get in that there's really nothing to steal. What can we do.
Basically, thieves are lazy. If you make it easy, they will try. Make it difficult you have that chance that they'll move on. I'm working on that theory. Years back I told a business owner to go with video cameras. "Too expense" he said. "Not real ones, install the fake ones." Just the 'look' changed everything for him. I have several 'cam locks' around. I may just mount a couple for the appearance. Hey, worked for him.. Have to say, someone seeing a lock in the middle of the door, they may just wondered.. Was curious what ya all were doing. Thanks folks.

I do have solar powered security lights. You get close you get lighted. Not sure it is deterrent but makes me happy like at house. I have had fellow campers tell me they were surprised when they approached my Pod and they got light blasted. I can turn them off. I installed them to keep some folks away from the stuff on the ground outside, like fishing poles that an easy pawn. Just an example.

Cool idea! I'd have fun with those just watching the critters roaming around the camper at night. |

I was thinking about doing that. I installed three on the south side of my house 4 years ago because there wasn't any lights but it seemed to have a lot of traffic at night. They were 10 and they still work great.
Do you have any pictures of where you mounted them? How many did you install? Thanks Sean 2002 F150 2016 179 |

2 on the slide side at each end of trailer, 1 on door side over dinette window, I have a 178. I used silicone, wall anchors and SS screws.

I have installed the rvlock keyless entry on my pod. Really i just hate carrying keys. If i go swimming or whatever im doing, i dont want to worry about keys. Also we know there are only a few different keys, so theres a chance someone in the park has "your" keys. Its convenient to know if I go out, and my wife, daughter isnt there, she can still get back in when she returns. I also replaced the outside compartment locks with combicam locks. Not so much for security, but to make MY life easier. Once they come out with a finger print, or eyeball scanner, i'll probably get that so I don't need to remember the codes

Thanks! IMHO, this is the reason to go with electronic locks - a matter of convenience. They do not make the door harder to pry open. |

Good Morning Mike. How long were the SS screws that you used. Do you think there is any wiring that high up. Thx

No wiring I encountered. Screws are 3/4 to 1". I siliconed around mounts just to secure. As I recall lights came with double sided tape.
