My class C was stolen while I was camping with my trailer last time. Even though the thieves also broke into my house and stole my spare keys, they just ripped out the ignition and hotwired the motorhome.
So, I have learned that thieves don't care if they damage the vehicle/trailer in order to steal it. That means if there is a coupler lock, they will just hook up the chains and go. If thereis a simple chain around the tires, they will pull the trailer until the chain breaks. They'll drive it on a flat tire. And so on.
For me, I have a coupler lock. I figure it will stop the teenage kids from taking the trailer on an impromptu joyride camping trip.
I also have this
tire boot claw. I hope it will make enough noise to draw attention to an ongoing theft.
You can't stop a determined theif. But you can make it more of a hassle to steal than the trailer down the street.
Now when I will be gone, I have a friend check the house and trailer/vehicle/motorhome daily.
