RV Theft Prevention

RV theft is fairly uncommon. Most thieves find it much easier to simply steal the belongings inside the RV rather than the entire RV itself. However, it does still happen from time to time. Luckily, all it usually takes to secure your RV and its contents is a bit of common sense. This guide from Casa Grande RV Sales can help you minimize your risk of RV theft. 

Parking

One easy way to deter RV theft is by parking your RV in a safe place. Busy areas that see frequent foot traffic have a lot of potential witnesses about, which means most smart thieves will steer clear of these areas. If your RV is a towable model, we recommend parking it away from the road to make it more difficult for someone to hitch it up without your permission. 

Lock Everything

Locks are another easy way to prevent your RV from being stolen. Lock up your RV whenever you leave it unattended. Don’t forget to lock the windows as well as the doors! You can use a hitch lock to better secure a towable RV, while a wheel lock or tire boot can help protect a motorhome that’s not currently in use. 

Hide Valuables

Valuables such as jewelry and electronics left in plain sight may tempt thieves to break in and steal them. Always stow these items away when not in use, and don’t forget to draw your blinds as well! You can also secure your valuables in a safe if you want them to be extra protected. 

Other Precautions

RV security systems are usually effective, but they don’t come cheap. A somewhat most cost effective way of fighting RV theft is by taking steps to make your camper easier to identify. Whether it’s a custom paint job, decal, or unique interior, anything that makes your RV more unique will aid in recovery should it be stolen.
