Most people believe the Proven Industries coupler lock is the best. It is also the most expensive.

The demonstration by Proven needs to be taken with a small grain of salt. If I were trying to remove that lock, I would attack the weakest point: The aluminum puck lock. It's open at the bottom to allow insertion of the key. So if you could get a large crow bar in from underneath, it might not take a huge amount of force to pry off the puck from the bottom. I still think it's the best coupler lock though. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

Lets face it. If you really want the camper, why waste time playing around with the ball latch at all. Simply grabbing it by the chains will work just as well. There is no way to stop them from the tongue. even removing the tires wont work if they bring a set with them. See they have all the time they need to figure out how to steal, what we try to make unstealable in ten minutes. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

I'd probably get one of the Proven locks if I kept my Pod at a storage facility for months at a time, but, and this is just me, it seems like overkill in terms of my fear level for anywhere I've ever camped. I will usually lock my trailer somehow. I have one of those cheap Reese locks, and whether I'm worried about the Pod or not, I will usually lock my generator to the Pod by running a cable through the gen handles and the Pod frame or one of the wheels. There are times when I'll spend ~$200 on a whim for something like this, or I'll come up with an acceptable rationalization to do so. It does look like the best; but I'm not ready to buy one yet. I could change my mind any time.... TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

Problem is, it's not a level playing field. The crooks can get several thousand, to maybe as much as 40 or 50 thousand hawking a camper, depending what it is. Are you prepared to spend that much to protect it? Not if you have any common sense. I think the only system that might work, is something like the old lo-jack system, that continuously emits a gps signal so you can track it down. This will work of course until the fist few crooks get caught, and then they use a jamming device. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

I can imagine people stealing cargo trailers, especially when full of cargo, and maybe high end travel trailers, but and R-Pod?? What's the point? They are not valuable enough money to make it worth the bother. Since trailers have to be registered with current license plates and such, and stolen ones are presumably a little hard to register, what are you going to do with it once you steal it? It's not as though you can take it to a chop shop and sell it for parts. Is the frequency of R-Pod thefts so high that this is really a problem or is it a solution in search of a problem? Do they steal more R-Pods in certain regions of the country? Where? Just curious............... ------------- Never leave footprints behind.

Well, I learned a long time ago that many thieves are not rational. So given a choice of stealing a $60,000 camper or a $15,000 camper right next to it just as easily, there is no guarantee they'll go for the big bucks. Of course, they probably do have their reasons. Anyway, my attitude is that there is probably no amount of security that will prevent a determined thief, and a little security that will slow them down or make them think twice is probably enough 80% of the time. Paredo principle. Same reason I don't buy lottery tickets. A $200 lock might prevent the theft of my Pod. If I spent $200 on lottery tickets I might win $650 million. For now I'll keep my $200. I thought of another scenario where I might go with the the Proven locks though. If I left my camper unattended at a truck stop all day, especially day after day.

+1 to TARS. If I were to leave my Pod for an extended period, I would spend the money for high end lock, I'm more concerned about a break-in than a total theft. Granted thieves aren't rational but there is little salvage value to a Pod. Not like a vehicle or a goods trailer. Interestingly even with vehicles, component theft is high, like tailgates and wheel sets. I keep the Pod insured, and if it does get stolen, I'll have the down-payment on a NO BO 19.5:) ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

That's what I was kind of thinking, the bigger risk is someone breaking in and stealing anything that they think they can fence. Of course, in areas where oxycodone and crystal meth cloud the thinking of the thieves, one would expect more irrational theft, but I've never heard of a huge problem with Pod thefts. But then I should probably take the foam ear plugs out of my ears, but there's a lot of other stuff I also don't want to hear. We lock our pod up with a padlock in the hitch ball lock safety pin hole and leave it at that. Since it is in our back yard when parked there is little chance of someone scaling the fence to open the gate to back a truck in to hook up our Pod and steal it. The neighbors would probably notice. And if someone breaks into our Pod, they'd be really disappointed. There's no micro, no TV or other electronics, really nothing much of value. The worst part would be repairing the break in damage. And while we're on the road, well, that's what State Farm is for. As Mike suggests, it would just be a nice down payment on a new trailer. ------------- Never leave footprints behind.

You know what would make it really difficult to steal a Pod? If you lowered all four of the stabilzers and had a way to lock them down. I haven't looked into it, but I'm imagining 4 keyed-alike padlocks positioned so as to make access with bolt cutters difficult. Not totally foolproof but surely enough added time and difficulty to dissuade almost any thief. Locking the tongue jack would be an added bonus. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

I looked at them but the price for the model I would need to get for our Atwood hitch would be the 2178-A which is listed for $225 on the site. It fits the Atwood Yoke Latch coupler on our 2016 RP179 (the middle picture on the 2178-A product page) where the 2178 will not according to the product pictures and description. I have been using a Master Combo Pack 3794DAT. It might not be the best lock, but so far, it has been adequate. My trailer is parked in our driveway along a fairly busy street. My neighbors know our vehicle and do keep an eye on things while we are away. If it were in a lot somewhere, I would certainly think the Proven Locks setup worthwhile. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

I'm still sticking with the best. A camper was stolen where I live and they are still looking for it. I plan to do some traveling. Unfortunately we live in an uncertain world.
and Glue Guy? I don't think that lock is coming off with a crowbar! Maybe a howitzer!  ------------- |

There's no micro, no TV or other electronics, really nothing much of value. The worst part would be repairing the break in damage. Same here, we special ordered our 177 back in January 2011 to have NO micro/convection oven, NO entertainment system, and NO A/C. We are camping and the pod for us is just a great place to get in and sleep after being outside all day, hiking, biking, or a myriad of other things to do outside. The thieves would probably trash the pod inside if they weren't able to steal anything of value for quick sale. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

Ok, ok, I confess: We have a repurposed Oster toaster oven where the micro would go. The timer switch broke and I was too cheap to throw it away. I put a little toggle switch in place of the timer. It works fine. We got a new one for the kitchen at Costco for $49.99 and I couldn't bear to throw away a perfectly good toaster oven. Now, if we're some where where there is ac power, we can cook a pizza if we want without taking out the Coleman collapsable oven to put on the stove top.

Pretty sure the answer is "maybe not". The way the puck lock interfaces with the shroud makes it impossible. See the shroud is built in such a way that you can't get "behind" the puck. BUT.. if a guy was worried, they make stainless steel, hardened steel, mil spec, etc, puck locks. http://securitysnobs.com/Abloy-Protec2-PL-975-Hardened-Steel-Puck-Padlock.html - Here is one.. ------------- |

Har! Sorry about that! The pin on that puck is near the top, and when I watched it being installed, it sure "looked" like it rocked around a lot. So I thought you could tip the bottom end out enough to insert a wedge, like a screwdriver, and then insert the crowbar. Maybe not. How wide is that opening, and how much of a gap can you create?

Mine fits snug enough that I have to smack the front of the lock to get the pin up. It doesn't rock or move at all. The whole thing fits good and tight. I have to get the chains in exactly the right place, or the shroud won't seat far enough to get the puck on either. There is no play in any direction with it. ------------- |

Glue Guy, I just received the Proven Industries lock. The puck doesn't fit snug like it's pictured in Furpod's. It fits loose and looks like the perfect space underneath to get a crowbar in there. I'm disappointed and thinking about returning it already. I looked at it again and the puck is real loose and there is a big space underneath between the housing and the puck that you could get a crowbar in there behind the puck and pry it out. The video showed a man breaking off other locks with a crowbar, so I assumed this one is crowbar proof. Now I'm not convinced. I emailed the company in Florida and the owner got back to me and we are discussing it. Is there more than one company that makes them?

I hate to hear that. I think you should shoot video of trying to break into it with a crowbar, just as was suggested. If you get it open, send them the video, and ask for a replacement that fits better.. if not, send the pieces back and get your money back. ------------- |

If you are asking me, NO. I won't even begin to try to explain my thoughts on such a course of action. I am pretty sure it has been established that NO lock or system is unbeatable. If you feel the security of this isn't what you expected, send it back for a refund. Interestingly, a Google search, and You Tube search, finds lots of videos of ways to defeat a puck lock, most by picking, and a few by destroying the lock or hasp in some manner. I see no one prying one off. Also, after thinking about it, pretty sure I know a $.05 fix to your fit problem, but have to go pull my lock off and look.. ------------- |

It probably has to do with the tightness of the two tabs underneath the puck lock. In furpod's case, they are tight, but in the video I watched it looked very loose. The simple fix is to replace the machined aluminum puck lock with a hardened steel puck lock. That or figure out a way to tighten up the space behind the lock and/or add a "lip" at the back/rear of the puck enclosure. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

So, since it was Friday, and the weather is nice.. I did some experimentation. If I remove the outer collar, and mount the lock to it, I can wobble the lock quite a bit. But, that's because of free play with the narrower hasp point.. https://postimg.org/image/pcrouylxp/">  So, looking at it.. my $.05 fix. (it actually took $.10 to make this perfectly snug) in this setting. Again, for whatever reason, (manufacturing tolerance stacking I am sure) Ours is perfectly tight when assembled and mounted. https://postimg.org/image/67ofl7ezh/">  https://postimg.org/image/iz2lrpwh9/">  https://postimg.org/image/x5icmx4rh/">  They could be held in place with a drop of super glue or silicone, heck, even duct tape.. ------------- |

I often put several drops of anti-seize into the lock mechanism of locks that live outdoors. Better locks made of stainless might not need it, but if there are any steel components inside, it will keep them moving smoothly. One word of caution, anti-seize contains graphite, and it will turn everything it touches black (but you can wipe it off). The nice thing about graphite is that it will stick once the liquid carrier evaporates. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

People have had their RVs stolen from their driveways by creeps who carry bolt cutters. Some people try to make their trailers less appealing to thieves by adding heavy duty hitch locks. Many styles are easily overcome by a thief if given the right opportunity. My sister-in-law moved her pop up camper to her front yard and put a for sale sign on it. The next morning it was missing from her yard. It had a good padlock on the hitch. She did not get nearly what it was worth from her insurance company. ------------- The mountains are calling and we must go...O.D., Keith & Jody 2016 RP179= O.D.
