Motorhome Security
I had hoped to spend this summer travelling through France and Switzerland using a variety of types of sites (some that would be more secure than others) and thoughts turned to overnight security particularly the driver & passenger doors.
For those with Remis blinds the Fiamma Duo Safe does not seem a possibility. The gold standard is the Heosafe Anti-Theft Door Lock - expensive and requires you to cut the plastic trim at the bottom corner of the Remis blind. Not brave enough to try this!
Tried wrapping the seat belt through the door handle but this allows the door to be opened far enough for the belt to be cut.
Rooting about in the garage I found a 4.5m ratchet strap I bought at B&M bargains for £2.99 to use on a roof rack. This works very well and the doors cannot be opened.
Now I have to work out something for the habitation door.

Why not invest in a proper alarm? Something like the VanBitz offering which allows the alarm to be switched off for the habitation area but protects you from someone trying to get in from the outside. However it will cost you more than £3!!!!

I fabricated a bit of alloy angle that slots over the striker bar of the cab door lock. It prevents the door from opening even if the lock is overcome and acts as a deadlock.

Our alarm can be set so the internal movement sensors are deactivated but will alarm if any of the doors, including the garage are opened. Only had the MH a year, but so far we have not stopped on any sites / Aires where we have felt the need to do it. Personally if we felt that unsafe we would move on.

We have the sigma series s by thatcham alarm on all outer doors plus cab, sure there's a way of disarming while we are inside and doors are still alarmed, not sure how to do that on the keypad, theirs the big button to alarm and open. a small button l don't know what its for, will have to investigate
