Our 7 Trailer Anti-Theft Tips: How to STOP a Thief in their Tracks!

Our 7 trailer theft tips to avoid trailer theft have given us peace of mind when wandering away from our small camper trailer. Do you want the ability to leave your small travel trailer without it being stolen by a trailer thief? In this episode we will be covering our 7 redundant RV theft prevention systems that are designed to slow down and deter trailer thieves.

Trailer theft prevention can be very costly if you purchase all the latest and greatest anti-theft devices. Our theory is that if a thief really wants your Scamp trailer or teardrop trailer, he is going to find a way to get it, even if you do have high end anti-theft devices. We believe the best tactic to stop travel trailer theft is to put in place a number of trailer theft locks. By increasing the number of locks, a thief must get through you increase your chances that he will give up and move on.

The main locks you see people use for their trailer are tongue locks and trailer hitch locks. These are great if used in a redundant system, but alone they take seconds to remove. In this episode we will discuss if it is worth investing in a trailer tongue lock, rv wheel lock, hitch lock, receiver lock, trailer lock nuts, locked cargo box, and more.
