Burglar Alarm?

OK, anyone have a burglar alarm in their 5th wheel?
  • Yes we have one that consists of a door switch and motion sensor inside the main living area. It is an automotive style built in alarm with an external LED and has remote control fobs. We had this installed after a drug addict broke into the trailer in our back yard at around 3 am causing about $5k in damage trying to steal anything he could like electronics. Luckily for him he was caught by a police dog and not me (I was close though) :M

    We don't use it camping, only at home for times we are at work or overnight. The fellow who installed it says he sees these types of break ins to RV's all the time. Pretty sad but I guess it's reality.
  • No, Maybe I'm too trusting but we leave our stuff out at most campgrounds we stay at and have no issues.
