If they can take your truck, they can take your trailer (or motorhome) just as easily. Here's how to keep yours from getting stolen.

1

Make your RV hard to roll away.

Keep leveling jacks down.

Extended jacks make it harder for would-be crooks to pull away with your camper.

Other trailer theft prevention ideas include:

Applying a wheel clamp for long-term parking.

Using a hitch lock wherever you unhitch.

2

Be smart about long-term storage locations

Use motion lights, alarms, & video cameras as deterrents.

Don't choose a storage spot based on price alone.

If you have a GPS tracker installed, you get real-time location data on your RV.

What if your RV gets stolen and disappears?

BUT, not all GPS trackers are alike
