Camper security

Hi Spana,
It worked for me when we had our Kimberley Kamper, the only draw back is that you will get road grime, dirt & mud in the lock that will make operation/removal difficult. There are locks available with plastic covers that will cover the key entry point & this will overcome the problem described. Talk to your friendly locksmith, Bunnings or similar.

To stop the muck getting in the lock, cut a strip of bike tube about the width of a wide elastic band and then put it around the body of the lock so that it covers the keyhole.
That will stop the dirt getting in and all you have to do is peel back the rubber to insert the key.
Just get the size tube that is a tight fit around the lock.
A cheap way to stop getting dirt in the lock.

I had a friend that had their hitch taken from the back of their landcruiser. Made it impossible to take the camper anywhere. When you head off to get a new hitch they take the camper.

Might be an idea to get a spare hitch as well.

We have a hitch lock and a treg pin lock.

Have attached a link to the website.

Hi Troy, we welded a heavy chain link on the side of the tregg hitch and another on the base. When the Tregg is turned sideways the links meet up and I then put a padlock through this and the Tregg can't be turned to the upright position.

Seems to work well.

Cheers

Yes definately do it, we had our treg hitch off our rodeo stolen in mudgee at xmas, we couldnt find one anywhere ended up getting a second hand one from the bloke who ran the local camping shop, he sold us his, otherwise we would have been stuck there for another week or so

Excuse my ignorance but is theft such a large problem?

I think the stolen hitches are mostly taken because it is easy to get them out by just removing the pin. I would even suggest many of those thefts are from people who don't want the hitch but just steal it because they can.

I have welded a bolt / nut onto mine and it also stops it rattling.

If they come prepared with a spanner then they would have other tools to get it anyway I tied it down.

I use a padlock on the chains this way they have to cut the chains. Also you can use a larger padlock.
