Has anyone heard of the generator stolen out of a motor home? I had a call from my storage facility yesterday telling me something about the motor home next to mine tampered with and that they checked mine and one of the basement doors was ajar, they said they checked all other doors and main door al all was ok.. I went out today and the lock on the generator door had been pried open. The key wouldn't work, I finally fixed it and locked the door. I'll go back out tomorrow and check further. I checked all the other basement doors also. There were a couple scratches on the lock where they had pried on it. I have had a motor home there since 2005, no problem

Some will try to steal anything.

They probably dont even know whats in there. Just looking for something to steal and turn into quick cash.

The dealership I worked for had a couple of generators stolen from coaches out front. So, yes, it happens.Also, RV storage facilities are prime ground for thieves, I once wrote over 20 estimates for theft damage at a facility that got hit.

Whats your key# ch751, 575. 223. we all have those. go get new locks if you are concerned

I was assisting a young lady with a plumbing leak (ok not so young. perhaps 60-70) but we got to talking and I ask about the gravity fill for her fresh water tank... She did not know where it was.. So I took out MY key ring and opened the locked door over the gravity fill port for her.. Yup. my keys fit here Rig.(Most impressive for her... I was like 90% sure that would work) all the little square doors opened with my little square door key.
