Fifth wheel hitch theft

I have a cable lock through mine as well. I thought RVers to be reasonably honest until this last trip from Florida.

We stayed in a KOA in Savana Georgia and a KOA in Sutton Virginia and of course stopped a few times to eat where we were away from the truck. That was approximately $100.00. I also had a 1/2 bottle of wndshield washer fluid stolen from the back of the pickup while using the washroom at a rest stop. I'm sure that was a trucker who was standing by his truck when he could have been in where warm. I would gladly given to him had he asked I had enough to get home.

Wow!

Must be those "undesirables" in Florida, Georgia, & Virginia.

Been RVing since 1970.

Never had *anything* stolen.

.......of course, there's always a first time!..;)

BTW - why are you "sure" it was the trucker stole your stuff?..:R

Better use a cable lock for your WW fluid....or was $100 the cost of the meal?..:?

Had the pins stolen once. Some dill weed took them out. Had to buy more and keep spares.

Now you just asked for stupid video clips. At least he didn't attach one this time.

I can definitely see a generator being stolen, there's a pretty good market for generators. I just don't think there's that big of a market for "hot" fifth wheel hitches. Low return for a more than moderate amount of work.

"Pssst, hey buddy, want to buy a cheap 5th wheel hitch?
"What do you use it for?"

My generator is big and heavy, but they are frequently stolen. I say don't give a thief an opportunity. Secure everything.

Now I know somebody must have walked in the house and stolen my glasses. I could swear they were right here.
