    The control panel for the slides and the landing gear is inside the Drv's, front door is not a 751 key.

    While the control panel for the slides is located inside my trailer, the leveling system is located outside and accessible using the CH751 key.

    The control panel for the slides and the landing gear is inside the Drv's, front door is not a 751 key. So, if it was locked it shouldn't have been easy, so maybe not locked?

    Did you see where 3 high-end MHs were stolen off a dealer lot this week? Total value nearly $3 million. Driven right off the lot.

    I think the DRV may have been a crime of opportunity. They saw the 5th wheel sitting there unprotected and they just drove under it and made off with it......a couple of minutes and they were on their way.....


    The controls panel for the landing gear is easily accessed with the famous CH751 key.

    Oh BTW ALL the newer DRV's are still that way. I bought the replacement cylinders from RVlocks to change out the CH751's to match the baggage door locks. Better so all exterior locks were keyed the same. THEN I found out all DRV baggage locks are the same, GRRRRR.

    I haven't noticed too many RV dealers who keep kingpin locks on their stock units. Thefts such as this may change that. Of course, my dear old departed Dad always told me that locks only keep an honest man honest - a determined thief will find his way around them.

    Would a king pin lock, the jacks down and stabilizers down and a lock on the front leg power switch have prevented this. This is why I do not ever want to leave my rv any where I cannot watch it??
