generator security need?
Getting ready to purchase genny for our 5er. Have seen a lot of allusions to gennys being stolen, is this paronia or a real concern? If it's real, how do you secure yours?
Forum Discussion
The stories I've heard and read about in RV forums tend towards the following:
Not secured and the genny walks away some in daytime but mostly at night.
Secured and the chain/lock is defeated usually at night or if no one is at the camp. Have read of a couple of gennys stolen while they were running at night. The cable or chain was cut and by the time the owner got outside, no one was seen. These thefts were at boondocking BLM spots.
I've never heard or read of a generator being stolen if it was locked away inside the RV or tow vehicle out of sight.
