My daughter is about to buy a Motorhome - a complete new venture - or adventure🤣! Any advice on the best security devices would be welcome . As caravanners we have always used both hitch lock and wheel lock but I guess is a bit different for a MH. I was wondering about steering wheel locks? They are picking it up in a couple of weeks so need to get this sorted. Thanks

VanBitz Growler. Not cheap but it's reckoned to be the best around. They're based down in Taunton with a campsite attached for you to stay on while they do the installation. If you are a subscribing member of Motorhome Fun, you get a bit of a discount. A steering wheel lock is a useful additional budget deterrent to the casual opportunist.

Last nights Dragons Den had an anti tamper alarm featured which was primarily targeting works vans, but I would expect it’d work just as well on a camper van. Not sure if it can be used whilst occupied, but thought it was a really good idea 😊

I thought it was totally impractical. It will be triggered by passing pedestrians, birds and goodness knows what. A swipe with a lump hammer or covering of Expandafoam would soon sort it.
Similar devices are already available which trigger an alarm in the house or, wherever you place the sounder. They don't annoy the neighbourhood but I know of folk who are frequently woken at night when an animal triggers the alarm.

Steering wheel locks are removable in about 30 seconds. They either cut through the wheel or cut the lock off with battery powered tools. An alarm with an immobiliser is about the best. If they want to get in they will just open one of the plastic windows with a screwdriver.
As for Motorhome fun 🤑
