Hello, I am looking for your opinion about this: Just bought a new camper last weekend, and am preparing to switch out the super common CH751 locks on the storage doors. Discovered the Combi-Ca...

I have used and reused Combi-Cam locks on our last two fifth wheel storage doors (3) without any problems, but we live in the dry West. We park our trailer in the mountains at elevation during the summer to get out of the heat. There is an inner and outer component to the lock so once you set your combination, you can hide the adjustment hole to not be tampered with. I spray with silicone lube every couple of months. Each lock is set one number off from the next to slow someone down.
My dad always told me that locks only keep honest people honest. Anyone can get into your stuff if they want it bad enough or you make it too easy. As a side note we also roll up our 50A cord when we leave our spot for several weeks as we still have to work to have extended weekends off. Anything copper has little legs and walks off. Don't want to come up after a long drive and not be able to hookup!
Have had a few questions about Combi-Locks over the years while at campgrounds or while filling up. Always get a positive response and interest, no problems for me over the last 4 years. Hope that helps your decision. Was absolutely mortified on our first night camping in our trailer when I had misplaced my keys and my "new" neighbor in the next campsite came over and opened our storage compartment with his key! Great neighbor, but got me thinking.
