How Do You Keep Your Truck Camper From Being Stolen?

A truck camper is a type of recreational vehicle that can be attached to the bed of a pickup truck. This small and lightweight home-on-wheels provides the convenience of being able to camp wherever you go without having to tow a traditional trailer.

Unfortunately, this convenience also makes it vulnerable to theft. Here are some tips for keeping your truck camper safe from thieves.

Park in a Secure Area

When parking your truck camper, choose areas that are well lit and highly visible. It is also a good idea to park near other vehicles or in an enclosed lot where possible. If you plan on staying overnight, look for campgrounds or RV parks that have secured gates and/or 24-hour security.

Install Security Devices

You can upgrade your truck camper with security devices such as wheel locks and hitch locks. Wheel locks are installed around each wheel, making it more difficult for thieves to move the vehicle. Hitch locks are inserted into the hitch receiver and prevent the camper from being detached from the truck.

Install an Alarm System

For added security, consider investing in an alarm system for your truck camper. Many alarm systems come with motion sensors that will sound an alarm if someone attempts to break in or move the vehicle. You can also install cameras around the exterior of your camper for greater surveillance.

In addition to installing security devices and alarms, there are some smart habits you can engage in when parking your truck camper: always lock all doors and windows; never leave valuables inside; never leave keys in the ignition; and if you’re leaving it unattended for more than a few hours, consider removing essential items like tires or battery.
