I recommend having a mechanic install a fuel cutoff switch that's hidden well. When it's activated, the tow vehicle or motorhome might start, but will die within seconds, so no one can drive it away. This is a highly effective "old school" antitheft device that thieves can't easily work around. This can be especially critical in Mexico, because some thieves will steal an RV when the owners are away, hide it in a remote area, & strip it down, or hijack them when the owner is on the road. If someone tries to hijack your rig, you can flip the hidden switch, & then pretend to have engine trouble when it won't start. They'll likely take off if they can't drive it away.

I also use a YoLink vibration sensor that activates a loud siren if anyone messes with my bike. I’m going to add a separate sensor for my folding solar panel.
It’s better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it. I have a concealed firearms permit as well but you definitely need to check state laws. The Utah permit has a lot of reciprocity except for Oregon which I had to get separate since it’s the state I live in. I make sure to stop and lock my gun in a safe before driving into CA though. That would not be fun. Too many creeps out there, especially when you are a woman traveling to the middle of nowhere. We changed out all the cargo locks and have a residential deadbolt on the door. Keep trail cams around the RV and motion sensor lights as well. We also installed an alarm and arm it before going to bed for the night.
You are correct, I should have included that in the video. We do also keep a few cans of bear spray handy. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your 30 years of service!
We traveled in both of those states and carried it. It’s actually not banned throughout those states. In CA, it’s only prohibited in Yosemite NP and Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP. Otherwise legal everywhere else in CA. For Washington State, it must be registered with the state fish & wildlife in order for legal carry.
Penal Code 12401. ""Tear gas" as used in this chapter shall apply to and include all liquid, gaseous or solid substances intended to produce temporary physical discomfort or permanent injury through being vaporized or otherwise dispersed in the air...." (e) (1) No person shall purchase, possess, or use any tear gas weapon that expels a projectile, or that expels the tear gas by any method other than an aerosol spray, or that contains more than 2.5 ounces net weight of aerosol spray."
This CA law applies to pepper spray. There is a lot of false information floating around on the internet about the what’s legal and not. You know this law probably exists in other states impacted by civil unrest where lawmakers rush out legislation
Looks like you're a long way from The Salty Dog Cafe! I usually tent camp solo and lock everything back up in my car (or keep it in my tent with me at night) when I go to bed. I also have a motion sensor trail cam that I put up on a tree that views my tent and camp setup. And where legal, I am also armed. TX CCL also here.
Lol. Yes, we were all the way out in California near Lake Havasu when we filmed this. Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on your safety and security. As someone else commented, bear spray is another great option that i failed to mention. Travel safe and have fun out there!
Great video, we're Canadian and travel with (2) GSDs. Sadly we're not allowed to CC, but bear spray and a 12G help. Always be aware of your surroundings, and like you said make them work for it, if there's an easier target most times it will be hit first. Will be ordering one of these beefy chains! Safe travels
I’m glad you mentioned our 2A. It’s becoming a rare thing to hear someone talk positive about it today. If we don’t exercise our rights to it then we’ll surely lose it. 🇺🇸
Great information. I don't yet own an RV. I'm at the research phase. Could you please describe the materials you used to fasten and seal your Skylink installation? I'm referring to what looks like some membrane over the wires and putty that looks like corrugated roofing.
Great stuff here. It is a shame we must do prevention like this to have a piece of mind, but thieves ARE out there. Better safe than sorry. Triggered lights and cameras are a must, especially automatic off-site video storage. I also agree about having dogs. We travel with our "fur children", and they let us know about EVERYTHING that takes place outside. Thanks
It's not even controversial. It's our constitutional right, also our God given right to protect ourselves. It's only controversial to people who are fine being victims.
Thanks TJ! Yes, there are some lunatics out there for sure. Fortunately, we haven’t had too many sketchy situations, but, good to always be prepared. Have fun and safe travels!
I boondock with my horse and I just roll my ebike up into the horse compartment at night or if I'm riding my horse. I also carry, and have motion light on all four corners of my trailer. I have a gooseneck lock, but usually leave my truck parked so no one could get to the hitch. We too usually have someone who stays at camp to keep an eye on things. One thing I hear a lot of, are solar panel thefts! People have cut the wire while the people are in their trailers..... do you have any suggestions on protecting them? I was thinking a motion alarm attached to each one but that seems like a lot of work.....
Appears as though you’ve got it mostly all covered! Most of our solar panels are on the RV roof, however, we do have a few ground solar panels that we put out if needed. To help keep those secure, we use a braided steel cable and locks. We secure the cable around the hitch leg with a lock through the cable loop and do the same at the solar panel. The holes in the aluminum solar panel frame are fairly small, so, we had to use a smaller lock there. Being that the panel frame is made of a thin aluminum, the thief could easily cut it with a pair of tin snips or bolt cutters, but, a small deterrent is better than none at all. Hope this helps. Have fun and safe travels!! ✌🏻
I have also found the Wyze cameras are great. Even if you don't have wifi, they have a SD card and will continually record. Jut pop the card and see the videos with any MP4 player. I have also tested the Wyze 2 & 3 with your "run of the mill" phone battery pack and get 24+ hours of power on a small one. The fact that they are USB power also makes them great for RV's - if you have a shore power failure, they will still run on the house batteries.
We have 4 total for the exterior that we used 3M exterior double sided tape to stick the Wyze magnetic mounts to the camper then the cameras are easily installed (via the magnet) and easily removed when we go to move.
@garystorts Actually, I have both. The wired one is listed on our Amazon page and the wireless is listed lower in the description. I failed to add the wireless to our page. My apologies. Here is a link to the wireless 4 pack bundle with base station that we use for the exterior (currently not available on Amazon). amzn.to/3tuLtUi We use the wired version inside to monitor our pups while we’re away. They work great as well.
21 years of nomad, trucking, rvlife and vanlife. The best thing is to be aware of your surroundings and use commonsense. I also travel with 3 dogs, and I've learned to follow their instincts. I've never needed a gun..
sad part is ALL key and combo locks can be picked in seconds. by just a fair lock picker. so best anyone can do is lock up in layers to detour the crook to another camp. and vary you schedule. camp with mutable other campers/ people. i am single so when out of camp it is fair game for the crooks.
I finally came to the realization that from Rv safety security,stress in towing,high price of camping and gas and full campgrounds. And the last camping trip another RV person backed their rv into my travel trailer crushing the ladder. It took two months to get The part and get it installed. THEN THE BIG LIGHT BULB went off…the price of a hotel room was looking very attractive. Camping is also a lot of work… after camping for 30 years.. I sold my 2021 Winnebago micro mini TT. Times have changed…way too many drifters wandering around and the ROI no longer makes sense.
Any recommendations on wireless Bluetooth camera setups that don’t require Internet (cellular or satellite) service? Looking for something, from a reputable provider, that will allow us to view the perimeter while we’re inside our trailer. Thinking Ring or Arlo, but without the need for internet.
Hi Ed, I have used the Wyze cameras for many, many years at my stick and bricks inside and outside. I also used them inside my RV now. My outside cameras are Blink and they are not as good. I have a Ring door bell and a ring alarm in my RV. I also have a conceal carry license from Texas and I rather have a weapon at hand instead of calling someone with a weapon (policy) that make take 5 to 50 mins. to get there. LOL By then the problem is over one way or another. Don
Hey Don, we also started with the Wyze wired cams for both inside and out. Tried using a battery pack to run the wired cam for the outside since they were waterproof and the battery died in only a day or 2. We were ecstatic when the Wyze wireless outdoor v2 came out. Sounds like you’ve got quite the security setup now. And yes, when you’re way out on your own, there’s no waiting and hoping that help gets there in time. Glad to hear you’re well prepared! Safe travels.
Firearm always everywhere i go.I lock my coolers on my on my hitch rack 2 g70 3/8 chain on each cooler with massive padlocks and my family laughs at me but at least i know my miller lite is safe 😂. Good video happy camping 🏕
My friends are mostly imaginary. I had to rent that truck and trailer to park next to us just for this video! Man this TH-cam video production is getting expensive… 😂
Hi Art! Thanks for the question. We take them down, but, the mount stays in place. The cameras are held to the mount via a very strong magnet that makes placing and removing the cameras from the mount quick and easy. Our friend who also has the same cameras accidentally left one up on the side of his rig and then travelled. The camera didn’t fall off.
Met a couple who had visitors at 3 am trying to get into their RV. They were able to drive off and get reception to call police. They got a shotgun after that as a Bat was just silly.
so is the shotgun. They did the right thing by just driving away instead of shooting someone. It makes more sense to get a sword than a shotgun. People are so silly about guns. You just aren't thinking things through.
Stellar idea! We’ve actually seen some people position like this, however, i think it was more so they could hang out at their big fire pit in the center of the ring. 🔥

Not this one. It’s a Viro Panzer 7 pin lock made in Italy. Here’s a video of a Professional lock picker that had a hard time with it. th-cam.com/video/SmzvGNwjaWg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uLSFW0VRHT5cWUy3 Can’t imagine the average bike thief would have these skills and patience. They would also have to try to pick it in an awkward position as I have the chain looped around my RV frame so they would be wedged between the bike and the RV or have to lay down on the ground.
Never heard of them before. Just looked them up. Pretty cool. We keep a big ol can of bear spray handy now as well for non-lethal use. It’s the big can, not the California mini version.
Carrying a firearm is just the responsible thing to do. They save lives everyday. Anyone saying otherwise is just a dumb democrat and we see how great their ideas are

We’re thinking of getting a set up similar to you, but at times we would have to take the truck out overnight separately. So I’ve been really thinking about how easy it is to hitch up to a trailer and drive it away. Apparently people steal Farm trailers all the time. Good suggestions. This is especially a worry for Boondocking places that are vacant. I wonder if you can bring a firearm into Mexico? I certainly want to drive through Mexico at some point. Seems like that’s the place you might really need one.

Finally,you're the 1st camper to talk about carrying firearms,way to go and good for you!!!
Then you should look up Endless RVing. They have done several videos on that topic.
You don't watch very many... EVERYONE talks about having one.

As a mom, of 4 dogs, they always know when any bag is opened. They are sure it will be snacks for them . They are often wrong on that.
Ours are the same, any little crinkle of cellophane brings them running! 🤣
Dogs are such a great security measure
They certainly are!

not allowed to carry fire arms in Canada. not all rv'rs are in the states.
Bear Spray may be a good option for self defense in lieu of a firearm. We also keep that handy at all times.
You can go online before going into Canada, and complete paperwork to get permit to carry prior to arrival
Don’t tell me thieves are usually other campers… what a pain. Do they just drive around to scout and come at night?

You've got the saying a bit wrong, it's keep lazy people honest.
👌🏻
You can also hire a security guard if that's in your budget.
Not a bad idea. Maybe one of those AI powered robots that they just came out with!
@@EddieAtLarge I like your idea. That could eventually make breaking and entering way to risky
Do you have gun owners liability insurance?
I do not. They tried to sell us that in our LTC class. Good sales pitch trying to scare people into buying insurance, IMO anyway.
You forgot to mention insurance, in case all else fails.
You must be an insurance agent. 😂 Yes, we do have that as well.
Once again, it seems like u r somewhat naive on how easy it is to pick/rake a lock open. Regular key locks r super easy to pop open.
Not this one. It’s a Viro Panzer 7 pin lock made in Italy. Here’s a video of a Professional lock picker that had a hard time with it. th-cam.com/video/SmzvGNwjaWg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uLSFW0VRHT5cWUy3
Can’t imagine the average bike thief would have these skills and patience. They would also have to try to pick it in an awkward position as I have the chain looped around my RV frame so they would be wedged between the bike and the RV or have to lay down on the ground.
We carry non lethal Byrna launcher weapons as well as our guns.
Never heard of them before. Just looked them up. Pretty cool. We keep a big ol can of bear spray handy now as well for non-lethal use. It’s the big can, not the California mini version.
Carrying a firearm is just the responsible thing to do. They save lives everyday. Anyone saying otherwise is just a dumb democrat and we see how great their ideas are
I leave a generator out (it doesn’t work) as bait 😂😂
Cows are dangerous!
🤣😆😂
If some people feel that firearms are unnecessary, they can choose not to buy one.
I would never travel without packing
Walk softly and carry a large caliber firearm!!
Ahh on a chain lock you cut the chain not the lock
👍🏻
"Electric bikes" should be stolen!😂
😝
Great video, thanks.
LOL! It’s funny the red states that you can’t carry are all actually the blue states 😂 Go figure.
That’s just Democommunist trickery. 🤣
I drive to McDonald’s? And I carry….. don’t leave home without
Your ghetto chain looks like it can be picked or raked in 10 seconds. Js ....

I was born in NYC, I will never set foot in that state, stay far away from cities.
Absolutely! We are currently parked in the middle of the desert out in AZ. 🌵 🏜️
We’re thinking of getting a set up similar to you, but at times we would have to take the truck out overnight separately. So I’ve been really thinking about how easy it is to hitch up to a trailer and drive it away. Apparently people steal Farm trailers all the time. Good suggestions. This is especially a worry for Boondocking places that are vacant.
I wonder if you can bring a firearm into Mexico? I certainly want to drive through Mexico at some point. Seems like that’s the place you might really need one.
-The average citizen of USA may not bring guns into Mexico big no no as in go to jail.
I enjoyed this video, thanks.
You’re most welcome Hank! Glad you enjoyed!
