Security devices

[Spoony73]

Hello

Something for discussion looking to buy something just to put in my camper to add a bit of security to it and was wondering what everyone uses and would recommend please ?

It is garaged over night but when I take it out on hols etc just want something to deter anyone from helping themselves to it.

Many Thanks

Simon

I have a locking Berg shifter and an UberSecure pedal lock when we are away camping - in a locked camera secured garage when at home!

one of these

cheap, easy to hide and wire off 12v supply via a usb charger. using a giffgagg sim card so minimal cost

can set it to text location when moves, exits a perimeter, exceeds a speed etc

Berg locking shifter, uber pedal lock, wheel clamp, battery isolator, cheap alarm, large pick axe handle
GF says I'm paranoid as I drive round looking for parking spaces for ages that I'm happy with then just worry all the time we're out, knobs with car doors, vandals, **** drivers.............. I'll stay in.

German shepherd normally works, really she's a softy but don't tell everyone.

Get a tracker, but remember if you need to use it, your bus has been nicked With immobilizers (fuel, ignition etc. ) you can't see them from the outside, but fit them of course.

You need to something they can see, if if looks like hard work they'll move off, hopefully :|
As has been said a pedal box lock and get some hiz vis devises like these or similar.

If you put a wheel clamp on the back wheel and turn your steering before your steering lock goes on, they will need a lorry with a Hi-ab, if they turn up with one of them, :shock: you'll find out if your tracker works :lol:

I have a tracker, pedal lock and a wheel lock. If they get past all of that and are happy that if I ever meet them what i will do to them. Then take my pride and joy. I think of it as one of my children.

“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my van poppy go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

Oh the best part of working for the government

Uber pedal lock, wheel clamp (deterrent value), battery isolator, tracker.

Bought a disklok but even the largest size won't fit an og steering wheel, so that went back on ebay recently.

man all this talk about nicking vans, man it would be a dream come true if somebody stole mine, agreed valuation and all.
thats if they could get it to roll that is.

anyway hidden kill switch is a simple one and free.
i find that making it look total bollocks normally deters even the most hardened of secondhand bay window parts providers, sorry i meant thieves, got the two mixed up. :msn4:

take a wheel of is any easy one too.

Yeah, every time I hear of a van stolen, I'm reminded of a photo of hundreds of spare doors lined up on one of the parts suppliers!

Got an uber pedal lock and battery isolator.

I couldn't be bothered with wheel locks, because I want to actually drive it about. I'm looking at trackers, but not sure how much use a GPS tracker will be. Once it's stored in a lock up or somewhere with poor mobile phone signal it won't work. But at £20 what's to loose?

 

[Spoony73]

Well that's my uber lock ordered for starters.

Thanks for everyone's advice.

 

[magoo]

This padlock fits the uber lock, just so you don't have to buy three different locks to find one suitable
