Scooter in RV park?

We had 2 and used a heavy galvanized chain purchased from Lowes by the foot and a good master lock.

There's no such thing as a good Master lock. All Master locks are relatively easy to pick and all chain is very easily cut.

Mongoose BMX chain & lock....inexpensive but deters theft mainly because you have it on scooter. LINK

No sense in spends $$$.......if thief wants it they will find a way to take it. All you can really do is NOT invite them to steal it by use of a lock.

This one is nicely covered to prevent scratches and looks tough.

Theft may be the least of your concerns. We ran into MANY parks in the SE that prohibited the use of any scooter or MC in the park. We both had "street legal" scooters and they remained on the carrier more than on the street, in Florida.

I use a Xena disk lock with motion alarm. Of course they could ignore the alarm and lift it with a couple of guys- in a van and gone. They steal motorcycles from underground parking in condos this way. All you can do is make it a little more difficult and hope they take easier pickings. I don't think scooters are prime targets, unlike sport bikes.

If you have specific parks in mind check their rules. Some we have been to only allowed scooters and motorcycles from your site to the gate, not around the park.

Not all chain is easy to cut. Try and cut this Chain

Better set aside a week or bring a torch.

GOOD INSURANCE!! and a lock and chain. I have a Burgman 650 I tow behind my TC. My scoot is almost 600 pounds and has handle bar lock to keep it from being rolled off.

I have already called the park and it is more then welcome. My scooter is very quite my Diesel truck is very loud.

I might use a motion alarm, thanks.
