    Peace of Mind Truck/Camper Security

    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.

    Security system

    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?
