Taking Bikes and Locking Them Up
I have a class A motor home and I would love to take our 6 bikes with us while RVing, but trying to figure out the best way to lock up the bikes. We will be towing our mini van and will put two bikes ...

During our many years of motorhome vacations, and with 8 children, we always traveled with a bunch of bikes. I can gladly say, we never had a problem with theft, although we did lock the bikes at night. Remember, chains and locks protect you from honest people who have a sudden lose of conscience. A thief will have a lock cutter or a battery cutoff tool and will be gone in moments. Therefore, in my mind, running a simple chain through all the bikes with a lock is the basic night time security. Individual locks and chains can be added for daytime bike rides where the bikes will be left parked during activities.

Same here...We just secure the bikes together with a bike cable from Walmart. If you want to secure them to a fixed object then by all means. But never had an issue. Put the ones you can in the van and the others on the rack. Just secure them all together. Back the van in as close as you can to the door of your RV. You can throw a tarp on them if you want. If will protect them from the elements.
