| Originally posted by jimandclare I changed all of the storage compartment locks to match the door key. One less key to worry about. Easy mod to make. Note that the company does not offer a replacement lock for the outside shower because it is so small/short. The link to RV Locks and More is below: |
I replaced all my 751 locks with cam barrels using the same key that opens the door. Very convenient to only have to use one key. I also put cable locks around spare tire (has prevented one theft) and propane tanks and added hitch locks. More importantly, I mounted a security box inside my RP178 under the dinette, with bolts that go through the floor. If we need to leave something truly valuable like a purse or a laptop, it goes in there. The box I bought is available at:

I agree with other comments that stuff like lawn chairs aren't too expensive to replace, but:
-- there's a lot of inconvenience. It took trips to three RV stores to replace the spare tire cover that got thrown away by the thieves that wanted to steal the spare tire.
-- I know I and my wife would feel a sense of violation if someone rifled through our stuff. We will feel better if we at least did some minimum security improvements.
I still need to add the motion detector LED lights, if only so I don't trip at night returning from the bathhouse!![LOL]( "LOL")
