Maybe store the fob in a mylar bag similar to what they mail EX Pass transponders in?
Here's a website that sells a few different types of containers specifically designed to block fob communications with the car. maybe get one of these to put the fob in while you are in the camper?
Good link BurbMan, thanks.
OP here. I have not tried opening the passenger door yet in the described scenario. Key fob was on the drivers side of the vehicle in the camper, so perhaps only the drivers door was within its range.
I'll test again and try the other door and report back.
As ib516 wrote, my truck does not shut off if I leave it running and walk away with the key fob. I do this all the time, locking it while running into say a convenience store.
However, again as same as ib516, you have a ding-ding alert going on, saying key fob has left the vehicle. Should someone gain access to the vehicle and attempt to put it into gear, it would then shut off.
But this one scared me. Especially when I did the starting test at home later. I had just spent three days street camping in front of my sister's home in Williston, North Dakota.
Williston. Bakken oil boom town. A complete madhouse, gold rush type Klondike, San Francisco gold rush town but in today's time.
Stolen vehicles and campers almost daily up there. Makes me shudder to think of the wild ride the wife and I would have had in that camper had someone driven off with it.
