Even though the built in RV Generac Q55 generator and home brew Venturi/muffler are working 100% it still gets quite noisy in the rear RV. Especially at nap time... We invested ($4k+) in a couple of Honda Inverters EU2200i that will work in tandem for a 30amp service at a greatly reduced...

Year(s) ago I inquired about this subject but can't locate the thread now. I wish to be able to remotely monitor (& receive alerts for) my RV when I'm away from it, especially perhaps in new-to-me areas and since I have fur babies. I have SimpliSafe @ home to monitor entry, smoke, camera, etc. &...

Hello, helpful Escape owners. We’re looking for a recommended best method of securing our trailer from being towed away when we are away from a campsite. We’ve seen lockable X-chocks, locks to fill the ball of the trailer hitch, wheel locks, and there are likely more things we haven’t...

Hi. I understand that, even with security in place, if a thief wants your truck, or camper, they will likely find a way to steal it. Unfortunately, nowadays, it's even happening off the beaten path. When we hit the road, we like to find dispersed campsites near forest road trail crossings. We...

I have a 2020 Precept 29V. Looking for suggestions on a better entry door latch/deadbolt that will be a direct retrofit to the existing latch. Also for better security. (From what I’ve heard the keys that come with the RV from the dealer can be the same as many other RVs that are sold). I’m...

The 2014 Escape 19 has hinges that can be readily unscrewed by someone else. Has anyone found a better solution?

Looking for pics and advice from those who have installed additional locks for the inside while you camp. Going to have a Ravelco installed, but wondering if I should install something for overnight protection when I'm inside.

Hey All, I have a fifth wheel on a remote deer lease in Texas. My buddy’s trailer was stolen a few weeks ago. I am looking for suggestions to 100% ‘lock down’ my trailer. I have a hitch lock that probably saved mine (I can see where they tried to cut it off, unsuccessfully) and am going to...

Has anybody ever used a security camera that is solar powered and connects directly to a cellular network? I’d like to leave one on my trailer while it’s parked on my property and I’m away. I have no power or internet but I do have cellular service. I don’t need streaming video just be able to...

I have a 2020 white hawk 27 RB and need to find a good trailer coupler lock to use while at storage facility. I would like something more than just the padlock-style that fits through the hole on the locking mechanism on the coupler. I have tried several of the ones that have a ball that fits...

I have a 2019 Jayco Allante 26X and I use my Rv a lot. Twice now while I have been Boondocking I have had someone tried to vandalize the RV while I was sleeping at night. I am overnighting in the city and not in a desolate area. What is a good security/alarm that would scare away any offenders?

Hello SMB Forum Having travel off-road 20+ years, my biggest concern is when I hike away from my Ford E250 SMB for any extended period of time. For example, when it is left at a trailhead and i go hiking for the day. Or when I am camping off-road and I go off kayaking. Over the last couple of...

I know this topic has been talked about, however, I'd like a lot more advice from you guys. Me? I am a solo, soon to be once again, full timer. I was a full timer a few years ago where I towed my Jeep. I didn't have a problem and I think we all agree in another vehicle is a must. My other hobby...

Well I’ve been boondocking for many years and earlier tonight I had my first ever incident of what I would classify as a real potential threat. First I am boondocking in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona about 75-100 feet away from the hiway on a BLM campsite and at 2:40 am I get woken up...

So we just brought our beautiful bus home today, and I was trying to figure out how the doors lock and everything, and I figured the locking part out, but now the unlocking part isn’t going so hot... It’s a 2003 IC 3000. I slid the eye bolt on the rear emergency door so that is locked shut...
