This video was simple yet BRILLIANT! Thank you my friend.

...plenty of time to rack the shotgun. I love it! Thank you

[@commonmanfamily4752]

"Plenty of time to rack your shotgun." Smart thinking. Thumbs up.

[@jammer6839]

I put the barrel bolts and a 1x2 through the inside handles on my rear barn doors. I also installed a door peep hole to see behind the trailer. Great videos, keep em coming!

[@gonagain]

I like the door peep idea and had thought about it for the main door but not for the rears. Thanks for the tip.

[@aqueousone]

You can also just lock the empty latch closed so the lever can't be slipped into it. Some one could still tie things in place to block the door but that's when you crawl out the hole in the floor.

[@seymourrivers6169]

Escape hatch in floor, Great Idea! :)

[@danshobbies13]

I would just put my padlock on the existing door latch so the bar can’t be put in place.

[@gonagain]

HI DPB .308, If you just place that bar across the door you can tie it with string and it makes it hard to open from the inside. It has a lot of leverage. Thanks for watching and I like your handle.

[@kayakmad2003]

ALSO, if you are inside and someone puts the hasp down WITH THE LOCK ON the door, it effectively locks you in the trailer.

[@robertgullickson8758]

[@col.johnson9938]

Great idea with the handle and spring latch. I also used barrel bolts on the inside of my cargo trailer, but I attached the bolts above the door about 6” in from door pulleys. The bolts drop down into holes in the top frame of the door. The latches don’t become trip hazards and someone could use a six foot pry bar and never get into the rear door. I will definitely be adding the extra clasp to lock the side door open. Look forward to checking out more of your videos.

[@CarletonWatkins1861]

Ive been thinking about this for my trailer and will add the RV latch soon. I like what you have done and I might be over thinking this :) but all it would take is a flat metal bar or maybe even a long flat blade screw driver etc to be pushed in under the vertical bar and over the door so the door couldn't be opened from the inside.

[@kbird529]

great ideal, thanks for sharing

[@jonkirkwood469]

I enjoy your channel quite a bit. My son-in-law and I plan on using the ramps as patios when bivouacked. He's building a bed lift. I plan to use the pipe berth (great idea Mr. G). My wife is working on ideas for stowing the berth when we want to access the patio. I figure it adds ~45 sq. ft. of living space. Most of our camping will be east of the Mississippi, so any opening must be screened.

[@gonagain]

When we need to get the pipe berths out of the way we just roll them up and hang them on hooks on the side wall. Believe it or not, Montana gets so buggy in the spring and early summer that we stay out of the woods! That's why you see us in the desert a lot.

[@ageranger1541]

Good information, Thx.

[@seymourrivers6169]

Excellent tips, especially the rear ramp door. I just lock the hasp on the side door without the bar in it at night. There are all kids of ways to still get locked in, with zip ties, a slim Jim, etc. It does eliminate the most obvious way though. I figure if I here rattling outside of one door, I will bolt out the other door. Side or rear.

Have been thinking about this on my cargo trailor as well. Love the ideas. I guess i would probably just pull the bar out of the walk through door and lock the existing hasp with no need for extra bracket mount. The rear door ideas are excellent !

[@gonagain]

More than one way to skin a cat!

[@rebeccagreen7241]

Problem is, even if someone simply CLOSES the door from the outside, or even mostly closes it, even without locking it, how would you get it open? Can't crank that lever from the inside

[@gonagain]

@@rebeccagreen7241 That's true. That bar doesn't swing out of the way easily and even if it was just tied to the door hasp with a piece of string you could be locked in. I like securing the bar back with the lock.

I got a lock that covers the latch there called bay locks and just put it on the door instead of adding another one it covers the hole thing where you would just put a lock like you have but you can't cut it it would definitely take alot for someone to try and get it off they sell them on Amazon

Fantastic. I think I might put that ventilation bolt idea further up if possible (is it? and a much bigger bolt), just to reduce leverage, and apply my brains to further mitigation of top-leverage/crow-bars etc.

[@gonagain]

The higher up you put the bolt the less the door will be open on top. But you might think of something that works better!

[@whereisjeena]

[@gonagain]

You are so welcome!

[@CallaFab]

Just put the lock back into the latch and lock it. Then nobody can put the handle back into the latch. I like the idea on the rear gate, gonna have to do that to ours.

[@gonagain]

Hello Ed. If you do that and just put the bar back across the door and tie it with a piece of string it has enough leverage like that to keep the door from being opened from the inside. I think of things like this because I grew up with an evil older sister...

[@joharmon2148]

On my camper shell the door closure was a real bad idea by someone and yes I got locked in when someone push the outside handle into the indented space. So as soon as I got back from the camping trip I had to fix that problem. I used a piece of left over 3/4" plywood and cut it into a little square and glued it into the space so that the handle nolonger could drop into the recessed plate. I also put a lock on the inside of the door so I could lock it when I went in to sleep.

[@lcarter194]

At work, all walk-in coolers have a no lock-in feature. We ran that latch bolt all the way thru the door to the inside with a wing nut or pin with a key you could pull if you were locked. Another idea is you could latch the buckle without the arm so you could not latch into the buckle.

[@gonagain]

There you go Louis. I think a lot of people are concerned about this. My fear comes from having an evil older sister... Lol!

[@brianwadyka832]

Instead of a hasp, I installed an eye bolt which is secured with a cable lock cinched down tight. Or could use a long shanked lock as well. Thanks for the idea, I wouldn't have thought of this on my own.

[@gonagain]

It sounds like your idea works

[@davej7434]

Been thinking of that myself, for the back ramp door, old window cam locks near where the cable attached to the door, about chest high, no rattling on the road like a barrel lock, for the side door, been looking at that frame vertical frame. Thinking of a hasp to hold it open, the twist style hasp, working on that yet.

[@gonagain]

Our barrel locks fit pretty snugly so there is no rattle. I don't know if Rick did that on purpose or it just worked out that way. Thanks for watching, Dave.

[@superma74]

here is an even simpler solution. with the cross bar open, simply lock the clasp closed with the padlock. the crossbar cannot engage in the lock clasp. no need to install a second clasp.

[@andybelov534]

exactly

[@epoweredrc]

try it and see what happens. I thought the same thing but the fact is at least on my Hallmark trailer the bar can still be put behind there the lock it and hold it locked.

[@superma74]

@@epoweredrc are you locking the top slider to the bottom latch? you have to lock both pieces as if the bar were there. i don't see how it is possible to put the bar in after it is locked.

I like your ideas! I'm a new subscriber and I've read your replies, in some of the comments below, on the RV latch installation and I've been looking at how other people have installed them in their doors. Everyone is saying how it was a difficult task and it turns out to be quite a lengthy process. I'm thinking that I might just go with some barrel locks, and a handle on the inside to save me the hassle, unless you'd like to post what not to do when installing the RV latch, lol. Love your channel!

[@gonagain]

Here's my take on installing that latch, which I did. The first day it drove me nuts trying to wrap my brain around it and I also made a mistake. The 2nd day the fog cleared and I saw it in a different light and got it done. It really isn't physically hard, you just need to take your time and figure out the geometry first.

[@robarsenault2756]

@@gonagain Thanks, maybe I'll take the plywood off the door and have a look at it. I just received my 2021 Stealth Apache all aluminum trailer which was ordered in August of 2020, darn pandemic. Your latch looks like the AP latch available on Amazon? Was there a fitment issue because of the door not being as thick as an regular RV door?

[@RacerXKet]

If you are ordering a new cargo trailer, you can order it with an RV door. We ordered our United trailer with a screen and regular double RV door. No industrial lock to deal with. We ordered ours with no back cargo door and added windows right from the factory. Took loads of weight off the total.

[@gonagain]

I really like the idea of no rear door for the extra things you can do back there like you mentioned. If I didn't need to haul the ATV once in awhile I'd have mine the same.

[@theedchannel9295]

Good idea with your locks. On my side door I installed a eye bolt and wrap a small chain around the latching arm then use the door padlock to lock the chain to the eye bolt. I think your way would look cleaner, more factory installed. Your rear door ideas are something that hadn't occurred to me. I'll add them to my growing list of things to do (over!). I don't always have time to grab and rack my shotgun but I have a 80 pound Doberman that might look at an intruder like they're big piece of bacon.

[@jerryjones7293]

Multiple exits are a good idea.

[@richardr1891]

I have a side door with same factory set-up ... I always put the lock back in the hasp in the locked position with the bar left hanging and the floor to roof swinging bar rotated fully open .... haven't been bothered as of yet because most people assume when they see the lock that trailer is already locked from the outside ... they never seem to make the connection that the bar is not in the proper place ... I have told friends about this when standing right in front of the door and they are always surprised when I show them the trailer is unlocked ... so far so good.

[@gonagain]

My thought is that, even with the lock on as you describe, the bar could be drawn across and tied with string and a person inside wouldn't be able to get out. Try it and see if I'm right. It would be a dirty trick for someone to pull, but there's some sneaky individuals out there.

[@srumenovich]

@@gonagain I have thought of that .. but I guess it depends of where you are ... I do still like the lock in hasp with appearance of being locked ... I even considered getting a vinyl wrap sign company to make me up a "Made to Scale Bar" to stick on the door where the actual bar would fit ... from a few feet away with the lock in hasp it would look pretty convincing.

[@Dave-sw2dm]

I was thinking about drilling a hole in the handle end of the bar and then locking it to the vertical post. Yes, someone could push it in front of the door, but they couldn't latch it. I will have to experiment to check it out. I like the idea of locking the rear hatch from the inside. Kind of an emergency exit. Park the bike facing outward and if someone is messing with the side door, start it up and blast out the back door. LOL!

Thanks for another great vid even though I received a lecture!

[@jamesjackson7463]

so why not just open the latch and put a padlock the latch that locks the swing bar. That prevents someone from putting the swing bar in the lock in the first place?

[@gonagain]

It's because you can still put the swing bar over the locked latch and tie it with a string. The leverage it has will stop you from being able to open the door from the inside.

[@hargieboo]

My trailer only has the RV type lock on the side door. The back has the two swing out doors. I'm thinking of adding the barrel locks on the inside of the back doors.

[@markparr7224]

I put two 1/2 spring loaded bolts inside, and am taking the outside ones off. So if someone comes up and looks at it, they will quickly figure out it is locked from the inside.

[@scottsimpkins350]

I drilled out the rivet and replaced it with a 1/4 bolt and a wing nut. I run the bolt from the inside and the threads exposed, and screw on the wing not. At night time, I unscrew and remove the entire handle and place inside (next to my shotgun😬) and I installed a heavy duty slide lock on the inside that secures the door. With the bolt installed from inside out, you can’t get it out / off when the arm is in the locked position. At most... someone could take the wing nut... but can’t remove the bolt. I do like the idea of drilling a hole in the frame to allow an inch or so of ventilation, awesome hack!!! I’ll be doing that soon. One other thing I did... I installed several door “peep holes” like in your residential/ hotel doors. I put them inline with the screw holes, so they blend in very well. It’s not until I point them out to folks that them find em. I have one on each side. No need to pull back curtains to look out the windows... happy to send pics if need be.

Why not just close the hasp and put a paddle lock on it then you can’t get locked in regardless if someone puts the locking arm back over hasp you can just push the door and it will push locking arm out of the way instead of drilling holes in side of trailer to install another hasp on other side

[@slimpickings3763]

Just the fact that you kept the lashing bar and positioned it to cross over the rv latch is ingenious for locking up the trailer when away. To many times I have seen those rv locks busted with no problems. I do have a question about the rear door being locked into vent mode; how do you keep the bugs from creeping or flying in?

That's something that could stand some improvement. We're usually in the desert and nighttime isn't a problem. It seems that the mosquitoes go to bed at sunset. Thanks for watching!

[@davejan744]

Robert Cgraggen- NW SELF RELIANCE & OUTDOORS , Suggestion. We camp in our van & for bugless ventilation I cut plastic screen bigger than the front driver/passenger windows & use magnets ( all 4 corners & a few in between the corners) to hold the screen on from the outside . Where the plastic on the rear view outside mirrors makes gaps I attached regular plumbers tape to the plastic. Magnets stick to it great. Lil round magnets found at most hardware stores. Rear vents come screened. (Usually) Gets nice airflow & keeps skeeters, bees & other asst pests out. When its time to leave just pull your magnets, roll up your screens, stash em & go. Cutting your screens to windows shape w a few inches bigger than glass all around makes for better/flatter fit. Flatter screen fits to door the less chance of a pest getting in.

I guy I used to hang out with once in awhile in the 80's went on to become a police officer. A few months after he was no longer considered a rookie and was allowed to patrol alone he was doing a police report at a construction site near the end of the day about some stolen tools. After he got done with the report he needed to take a crap bad. He hit one of the porta potties on the site, heard someone jiggle the door outside but thought it was just someone else trying to open the door and didn't see the occupied indicator. When he was done he found himself locked in it after the site had closed down for the day. Someone on the site as it was shutting down had padlocked it from the outside. Those doors are flimsy so he bent the door open toward the bottom and tried to crawl out. He got stuck, was struggling, tried to take his duty belt off and "somehow" managed to shoot himself in the ass. He got on the radio on a secure channel, told dispatch what happened and he needed assistance and an ambulance. He also asked that this be kept on the down low and he was not severely injured. Of course dispatch blurted out on the multi agency non secured channel, "Shots fired officer down!" Every law enforcement agency in the area rolled to the site including a couple of under cover Feds in the area and two police choppers just to find him stuck and wounded half in and out of a porta crapper. They got him out and to a hospital and managed to keep the incident out of the media. He recovered in a few days since it was just a deep grazing wound and powder burn and was back on the job. He earned a nickname though. Outhouse. That stuck with him to this day and was even his code name years later after he became a detective and later retired. I've forgotten his real name. Everyone just calls him Outhouse.
