In answer

Hi, sorry but the locks in the link don,t look up to much, They are just closed on the lip of the door jam, anyone with a small screwdriver could get around these locks.
You have not said if you want external or internal locks,

Dead simple and surprisingly cheap - Mortise locks like you use on the front door of your house CLICKY Please note: These are for illustration only :D Please also notice that they only have the mortise part fitted. This is the type you need, so just hunt around and you you'll find something similar in B&Q&Q or Wickes.

On a conventional Motorhome you have a normal 1 or 2 piece side door. You need to do something about the window and also the door. Bar it off from the inside, both top and bottom, is the answer. The side door is the weakest point on any Motorhome and the locks that are fitted are a misuse of the word "lock"
 
Simple and effective

To block your front doors:
Push the door lever in; drill a small hole trough the plate and the plastic lever. When you put a pin or a nail in; it is impossible to open the door from the outside, even with a key. As the lever cannot move the lock mechanism remains blocked.
It will cost you only a nail :D
 
This Sleep Secure is B. good. There are some really good items on there. Its well worth a careful read rather than the usual "Oh that's interesting. I'll book mark it for later" - very good find *****
 
Sorry to here about your break in:mad: hope you get things sorted

Would'nt your breakdown company help:confused:

We had them on our last Hymer and they are very good:cool:
When we sold the Hymer Sam had them on her Mclouis:cool:
Well recommended, I only wish they made them for my present Hymer as even if you break a window the door cannot be opened when the padlocks are fitted:cool:
