Hi, well I have been out there playing, 1st a soft plastic cap as per the video, this was a no go, then a second go with heating a hard plastic cap and then sticking it in the key hole, this I have been told will allow the plastic to mold, both a total no go, mind you I paid a lot for this lock and it looks like there some form of shielding inside the lock,
But anyway, with our great police force who needs locks and things.

Well it just goes to show some sites are not right you have a lock like the video and you could not open it with a pen top and you probably spent 10 minutes doing it would be thief may not
.One concern I have with super security is the damage they may do trying to get in but that is the risk we all take

I am firmly in the camp that the more security that is visible, the greater the thief will look for an easier target, unless they have specifically targeted your vehicle. To a thief its all about time and visibility. A thief entering a jemmied door will not cause much interest from a passer by but someones backside or legs flailing from an obviously broken window would certainly have me dialling 999 and no doubt within about three and a half weeks the wailing sirens would appear round the corner at break neck speed, unless of course the Dorset shire number plate spacing hardened thugs had not yet all been brought to book

For someone to steal a motorhome it would be to order ie a specific make and model, so if the right vehicle is there with all the security you can muster and there is a different model right next door with no security at all they will still steal the one they want, going through all these flimsy defences as if they are not there.
Tracker can be beaten with a simple electronic device costing less than £5 to make.
Alarm systems? if they want the vehicle consider it gone, it may beat a joyrider, BUT I dont think motohomes would be the vehicle of choice.... for valuables an alarm can be safely ignored, when was the last time you saw anyone respond to an alarm going off?

But your average motorhome is hardly in with the normal every day pinch to order vehicle, it would look odd resprayed, not much good for ringing and by nature of their negligable sales 11000 per year. Probably only about max 40/60 of most popular models each to look for, I think that is why most stolen motorhomes are older models, stolen to sell with a dodgy plate at a knock down price. So that is why I say the more obvious your security the better chance of them looking elsewhere.

Because GSM jammers will only prevent GPS/GSM tracking devices to communicate with the base station. The GPS/GSM devices are still able to receive and buffer all GPS positions. The tracking devices will still be able to send out all the GPS positions if the car or when the GSM jammer is shut down. So they can still see where you went that day.
Only GPS jammers will prevent the GPS loggers and GPS/GSM devices to get GPS positions from the Satellites. But they still can track you by the GSM network used by the GPS/GSM devices or track you by your mobile phone.
We have a no information on pricing or availability.
I don't advertise I have a tracker on my van but above only blocks it temperaly and I track by my mobile phone it can even tell me if it is traveling on low loader Ive not yet found one for £5 though I have looked that hard
I try not to worry to much on theft as long as no harm comre to me and dearest everything is replaceable

Hi all, The lock I was trying to get into was my motorbike disc lock, not the one on the motorhome as thats not here in the UK. the disc lock is an oxford make and it as the same looking round lock as the motorhome outside lock, but the plastic cap thing did not work, Come to think of it the machines we all know in certain places have the same type of lock and yet they remain locked with all their money inside, so some of these lock types must be better then others. terry.
I also think that alames are a waste of time, most of the little sods no ways round them, I remember years back one could overcome BMW car locks with by pressing half a tennis ball over the door lock a few times, and some renaults all you had to do was kick the front left wing hard and the door locks came open. At this time my hymer is in france behind a wall with two cctv cameras viewing it, and a very strong wheel clamp on it. i can,t do anymore then that, also get the best insurrance.

Hi Cipro
the jammer stops the tracker working period, unlike the lock thing its not that common to see how the device is made and works

I wouldn't touch any of those circular type key locks.
Motorcycle mags have reported for years how crap they are.

I agree, if they want to pinch your car or camper, they will
Ive bungled my way through life, forgetting to lock the car and/or camper
sometime even leaving the window open at night,
the wife thinks im a brainless twit
but ive never had anything pinched yet, maybe ive just been lucky
