A poster went to a NASCAR race, parked his 5th wheel a day early, secured his Honda 3000 the same way.

NO cutting necessary!
Bad guys simply supported the front of the trailer, raised the landing gear legs enough to take the gen *AND* the cable.

So who's simply the "dodo" now?..:S..:S

Well, it finally happened. We're in Quartzsite, boondocking on BLM land and our two Honda generators were taken between 10 pm and 8 00am this morning. We had heavy duty vinyl covered cables, but that didn't stop them. Dangit!!! And no, we didn't have our names etched in them and the papers are in storage in Oregon. What a way to start the day!!! Waiting to contact ins.....sure hope they cover them!

So, what do YOU do to stop yours from being stolen???

well, dodo....

We simply wrap the cable around one of the landing gear legs. That way they have to cut the cable, and I use a hardened cable.

You are missing a wet-wild-windy winter, gusts into the 60's earlier this week.

I read that as Doo-Doo as in CR@P.

Get the ultimate performance, including full-extension slides, a drawer-silencing feature and the ability to side- or flat-mount for a number of applications. Heaviest rated slide available.

Use for large pantry pullouts
Tool storage pullouts
Wide lateral file drawers
Vehicular storage drawers.

Load ratings are dependent upon slide usage. Side- or flat-mounting increases versatility. Full extension provides better drawer access. Additional mounting holes allow easier installation. Drawer-silencing feature provides quieter movement. Slide measures 3" H x 3/4" W.

For moderate usage, such as for computer access drawers or power back-up systems storage, the slides are load rated at 500 lbs. per pair. Drawer width to 18". Cycled 10,000 times.

For frequent use, including in large pantry pullouts, toolboxes, modular storage, the slides are load rated at 400 lbs. per pair. Drawer widths to 42" and cycled 75,000 times.

For vehicle mounts, including in RV and truck bodies and for emergency vehicle power supply units, the slides are load rated to 300 lbs. per pair. Drawer widths to 32". Cycled 10,000 times.

For flat-mounting anywhere side space is limited, the slides are load rated at 150 lbs. per pair. Drawer widths 32" and cycled 10,000 times.

Price is per pair of slides.

PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT carry all sizes listed on the Accuride Product Information Sheet.

Here's a thought. When you notice something suspicious, take a picture. Nearly everyone has a cell phone with a camera or a cheap digital camera. If it turns out nothing happened that would need Law Enforcement contact you can delete the photo when you leave the campground.

The fact that you noticed the ratty old rv would be enough to warrant at least a photo of the rig from your camper. Or one of the license plate if the feeling is real strong.

Never ignore that little voice that says "somethin's not quite right here".

Dodge guy...I would take that better than being called do-do. I have to admit the majority of the people that have posted to my two threads have disappointed me. I gather from their comments they've never made mistakes and were never taught that being nice to people is important. My mother raised me differently.

Yep. Same here! I've been seeing more of that here lately. It's a shame that's what this site is turning into.
Glad you got some new genny's.
