Rooftop security

A Rotweiler in the back would be a good deterent.

Hi vcbb we just travelled for 10 months had no issues. We used a roof bag where we padlocked zips shut . No dust or water . However we met a couple that were asleep in their rooftop tent while a wallet was stollen out of the 4wd beneath them they were at a caravan park in nt. cheers

Always travelled with a roof rack and just a tarp over the top.
Plenty of ropes sort of slow them down if any one is tempted.

Really a sharp knife is all that is required to slit the tarp or cut the window rubber on the car, or break a window. 30 seconds at most and they will be in if they want too.

Had a friend who got broken into in Moorocco in a camper van. Middle of a full camp site at night, 6 vans done in half an hour by slitting the window rubbers. Every one sleeping inside didn't even hear of feel a thing. Security is illusionary at best, or depends on what you count as valuable :o).

Best security you have is to be around and keep an eye on the vehicle if you are worried about a particular place.

Very dodgy indeed, 1947 ....no problems, 2007 they'll take it even if they don't want it
