New to RVing, have a new TT I want to take care of.
When I go to a park, drop off the trailer, and then go for a hike... how do I keep it safe? What prevents someone from hooking up and driving off?
Also, I understand the locks on the trailers and the comparments are not very secure. What is the best solution to prevent break ins?
Nothing, but if it makes you "feel better" throw a hitch lock on the coupler. Anyone can easily get inside your camper or any of it's storage compartments so obviously the solution is to not keep anything truly valuable in either. Each entry door will have it's own key # but almost all compartment locks use a 751 key, meaning everyone in the campground has one anyway. Carry insurance and go enjoy yourselves, otherwise you're worrying about something you can't control anyway. :R
The 751 key has become much less popular in recent years. Many newer trailers come with the key-a-like system which puts all compartments and doors on one common numbered key from a series of about 200 possible cuts. That removes the neighbor having your key problem but obviously doesn't help with the flimsy doors (and walls for that matter). But I agree with everyone, your chances of having your rig stolen or broken into at a campground are vanishingly small.
