Pickup my new Jayco tomorrow

[RetiredSquid]

Bought a Jayco Eagle 339FLQS front living room with 4 slides. I'm pretty geeked.

Anyone keep a generator mounted in bed of their truck?
Got 8 ft bed want a tool box in the bed and am wondering about a generator....mounted to be theft proof??????

I purchased a motion sensor from Harbor freight that dings when someone gets to close. it is nice.

Congrats on the new RV, enjoy. You'll get the generator placement worked out in the way that is best for you.

Yes being a retired LEO no such thing as theft proof, but make yourself harder targrt than the next guy!

I have a EF2800I mounted in the bed of my truck secured to a large heavy tool box which itself is secured to a piece of 2X10 spanning the width of the truck bed and has another box attached to support a propane cylinder.
While nothing is steal proof it is possible to make it hard and noisy to try and steal it from the bed.
I also have a tonneau cover for out of sight out of mind as much of the time as possible.

Enjoy the new 2nd home.

I've been considering trading my Eagle 31.5 RLDS on the same model. I like the looks of it but haven't went to look at them yet. I expect I know what will happen if I do.

Got to agree.

I have a Yamaha 3000ISEB "mounted" behind the cab of my pickup. Have some heavy security on it, but if someone wants it, that is what insurance is for. Good news, 3 summers and it is still there. Helps to have a bed cover. Out of sight, out of mind.

BTW, congrats on the new trailer.

+1, I agree whole heartedly. You can make things difficult for a thief; but if the thief wants something bad enough, it will be gone.
