Don’t see any info on the cat protection gear

[@tombrown8522]

I love walking thru the campgrounds with our dogs and looking at peoples' rigs and setups! If people are at their sites, I might wave, say hello and keep walking. But if no one is there, or if they are inside, I like seeing their gadgets and setups and see if I can improve on anything at mine. For example, In Bar harbor Maine last May I noticed a couple with a bumper mount clothesline/dryer. When I got home, I bought one and love it. Not everyone is a creeper or looking to rip you off, although I do understand the need for some commonsense precautions. Later in the summer at Codorus State Park in Hanover PA, I saw an awesome screen tent from Gazelle. I just bought one and plan on using it on our 3 week trip to Yellowstone this summer. Just thought I'd throw it out that that not all gawkers are looking to score your stuff!

[@EndlessRVing]

Yes we gawk too!! lol

[@marilynrigsby6874]

So right, I always look at the huge fancy motorhomes.. I'm surprised he's uptight about fellow campers checking out his $$$$$$ rig.. we're in a 2022 5th wheel now, know what it cost, so of course I'm looking..

[@EndlessRVing]

@@marilynrigsby6874 we’re not uptight. It’s humor. We look at all the rigs too. 😊

[@marilynrigsby6874]

@@EndlessRVing Oh you were!!! wanted to ask about you saying, you can't go without tint on your to front side windows?? Everywhere you go it's legal?? It's not in California, Oregon, Arizona, Washington n Nevada, it's a fine n fix it and cleared by my home state, California highway patrol ((CHP)) NO driver or passenger windows

[@A24kPhoenix]

Wait, a bumper mount clothesline? Now I'm wondering about installing one on our toy hauler deck. Hmmmm... thanks for that tip!

[@sparks701]

3 M security tint/film takes extra time to break a window. Doesn’t save the window just takes a lot longer to break through and gives you a chance to react if you are in the RV.

[@mayam6678]

Gosh... I was fulltiming in the eighties for 6 years with a Coachmen 38' 5th wheel and then the 37' Winnebago Elandan and we never worried about anything like that. So sad what happened to society in the mean time. Mind you, we did paint a number on top of the roof, so it could be seen from the air, just in case it was stolen. We truly never ever had anything stolen or gotten missing in all that time. Working as a team together, like you two, just made our travels easy, safe and fun! Safe travels to everyone reading this!

[@sandyruther2745]

I remember a time like that, too. We left everything out, tent camping. Now, especially after covid, society has changed so much. Much quicker to anger and prone to violence. We lock everything up now when we leave.

[@Ceceoh]

This is why I bought a funny looking fifth wheel with a gooseneck ball hitch. Nobody would go to the bother of stealing it.

[@paulab984]

I was a builder and people said, "oh, you can't stop theft" to which I said, "but I can make it as difficult as possible". I set up barricades and made it as difficult as possible to get into my building sites and steal and it worked. On our Winnebago View, we LOVE our keyless lock. It gives us a lot of security.

[@EndlessRVing]

Exactly, these are just deterrents. 👍

[@thelonestarranger]

I installed an RVlock brand entry lock with the key fob on our trailer a year or so ago. I wanted a more secure door lock than what came on our trailer. I felt safer with this lock setup until a month ago. My wife, by mistake, used the key to our storage bay locks, and opened the RVlock with that key. When she was done inside the trailer, she tried but couldn't lock the door back with that key, and told me something was wrong with the lock. I saw that she had unlocked the RVlock with the wrong key! I locked both the lock and deadbolt on the RVlock with the correct key, but then was able to unlock both of the Rvlock door locks using the storage bay lock key. I couldn't believe that I had paid extra money for a supposedly secure door lock that isn't secure at all. FYI, the key fob only locks/unlocks the deadbolt on a RVlock brand door lock. I am looking for another brand of lock, as RVlock brand isn't what it's cracked up to be. A hasp and Master lock would be more secure than an RVlock. I'm so glad my wife made a mistake by using the wrong key to unlock our door, as we weren't safe at night in our trailer, when I thought we were.

[@user-cq7sy9gk1n]

I wish the RV manufactures would provide a way to lock the outside fresh water tank fill. Anyone could walk by and pour anything into your tank.

[@randomspirit]

I painted bright orange and engraved all three catalytic converters on my truck AND I put loud cat-alarms on all three of them that are so sensitive that just bumping the exhaust system sets them off. If anyone tries to steal them, their ears will be ringing for awhile...and they won't be able to sell them because of the paint and engravings. LOL Also...fire safe! If something is worth putting in a lock box, why not use one that will survive a fire, too?

[@bchlvrbob]

Always used lockable hitch pin sine back to the 1980’s. However, over 50 years of RVing I left many items out, not locked, and have never lost anything to theft. The day that I am fearful of this life, Im quitting right then. So far it has been an escape from those types of people that prey on others, much safer than typical neighborhoods.

[@Deoxyryboncleic]

An easy locking hitch pin is the one from Bolt, it is able to be keyed to your vehicle (if they have a compatible model) so you don’t have to carry around ANOTHER key. However, with everything going keyless these days I’m not sure what’s compatible anymore. But it’s great if you have a tow rig that’s a few years old!

[@cris_miko]

I'm getting the RV Keyless door lock for my class C because it has a remote fob to ensure the door has been locked when I'm moving, especially through car-jack prone areas..

[@jamescopeland9147]

I use a DIY hitch lock. I drill out the hole on a hitch pin large enough to drop a master lock on it and I use a master lock on my tow dolly.

[@OTUSPIKE]

Thanks for pointing out the difference between "Air Tags" and GPS units (we use a GPS unit in our Gulf Stream 19CSK Vista Cruiser). Too many people now think that Air Tags are the "end all be all" for tracking stuff. Nope. Bluetooth vs cellular/satellite. Another great security video (as I would expect from Izzy). Cheers always!

[@EndlessRVing]

Yes we get that comment all the time and people have a false sense of what an air tag is capable of.

[@wenkueichiang1976]

Wow I think I’ll stay up in Canada here we don’t need all that security I’ve been camping over 20 years n nothing happened even people at the campgrounds I’ve talked to there’s no issues

[@EndlessRVing]

Maybe you should rethink that www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6919999

[@Tessa-555]

Why make him/her re-think feeling safe in Canada? Feeling safe is a good thing even when crime ebbs and flows. There's still a lot less crime in Canada than the US and so we can and do think differently. But we can still watch your videos and understand your perspective without asking anyone to rethink anything.​@EndlessRVing

[@lillis887]

FL here! Your catalytic converter will disappear in seconds!! And if you don’t have a Tesla with camera surveillance 24/7 you’re screwed! And make sure you have a concealed carry permit and carry!!

[@user-ls8vw2oj8h]

Keep thinking that and you’ll get hit. No one is immune. Wish it was different, believe me.

[@jamesstriblin1522]

U.s.a. has went to hell as far as safety

[@scotttovey]

Air tags are a security risk. In a populated area, blue tooth connects to iPhones and other blue tooth devices to form a network that can pinpoint your location to within inches. When you turn off the iPhone, the iPhone becomes an air tag. The phone is not completely turned off. Now, android has the technology included to form a similar blue tooth network.

[@johnsandyh6317]

We also have a ring camera on our rig. Also added door sensors to each of the cargo bays. We hear a chime every time one of them is opened. Also have a ring motion sensor in the ceiling of our car above the driver seat so every time someone sits down there we hear a specific wind chime sound inside the RV.

[@user-hj4vz6sl9t]

I don't know if many people are interested, but sometimes you need to look at a problem with a lot of Angst. Like remotely switched ignition. That won't stop a real car thief's toolbox.. don't worry about it and switch the fuel pump instead. All newer vehicles have electronic fuel injection. And high pressure fuel pumps. If that won't work, hotwiring t motor is not going to make it move. It's more work, but think about installing a racing style of steering wheel that can be quickly removed. Then lock t end of your steering column

[@rodneylw10]

I just want to share everything good except locking pin setup. I have a towable and went to a workshop recently at a rally where they talked about safety. One of the things I was surprised about was the danger of locking mechanisms on trailers to tow vehicles. They said that if you are towing and there is an accident or fire, the authorities need to be able to disconnect a towable quickly from the tow vehicle and to use a quick disconnect pull pin- just sayin. I dunno. It makes sense but I thought I would share for thought. I use a reolink battery operated stand-alone camera for campsites. I can see outside before going outside and that is important to me. It connects to my phone so it is perfect for Internet or no Internet places.

[@EndlessRVing]

The fact they are saying they need to disconnect quickly means it’s is not secure. You have to weigh the pros and cons

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Izzy and MJ! I love these videos. Loved the Air Tag how you explained about that. Love that safety box for the fire arm. I love all the safety features on your Rv that you put on. I remember you doing videos on them. Thank you so much for doing this video! See you both soon! Love you! ❤❤

[@stevecracknell4779]

I installed a Wyse camera inside because we had a break-in once. It served a double purpose. It notified me that I had a sound alarm go off which turned out to be one of my water leak detectors. I was able to fix it immediately. I also installed stickers on the doors warning that I have cameras and audio. I haven’t had a problem since.

[@thomasreichard7812]

Watched you video when it came out and yesterday we discovered a unique problem with our RV Lock. It is not with the dead bolt lock but it is with the one connected to the door handle. I like the fact that if it is in the lock position you can't close the door and get locked out, however late yesterday the door was closed with the knob partially over towards the lock position. This allowed the door to close and it locked the door handle. Now we were locked out of the RV and needed a key to get back in. Unique problem.

[@mikeprichard7933]

An air tag does not track in real time. It updates every time it comes in contact with an I phone. It's better than nothing and you will sooner or later recover your lost item. I carry one in my wallet and one on my keys so when I leave them somewhere in the house I can find them. They are good for that

[@sandyshort776]

Me being a new RV’r, I would be definitely looking at your RV as mentioned… only because of the screen on your windshield. That is so cool and I don’t have one.. 🤣. I’d be looking at your Rv also only to admire it … only walking by the front… as I have a Newmar as well.

[@rogerdalpe587]

My biggest fear is losing my motor home (class a) to a thief. This is a huge inconvenience not having my home away from home. So since day one I wired in a gps tracker in a hidden location. With it I can track to within 12 inches of its location and it never fails plus it’s programmed to notify me of any odd movement like a bump against it. It’s 4 years old and works still for a small fee. That’s my insurance. It’s funny to say if you protect your unit nothing happens to it.

[@jdc212]

" Orange flavored" Yuck! 😂

[@rakereldridge6210]

We use the hitch locks, motion sensor lights, and weapons. I would like cameras around the camper. We have a towable. We are saving for the keypad. I like the mountable wall safe. We have safe places in the camper where we stow valuables, or we take them in the car when we leave. Great ideas!

[@glenmc24]

[@wademoorefield917]

Very informative! We use all the tips you suggested except for the window tint. I have trouble seeing at night and those few times we have to drive in the dark that can be a problem. Thanks for the heads up on protecting our rig.

[@loumadonna2262]

We use the locking hitch pins on our tow bar, have a Bauer keypad (NJ Company), do carry one of those lockable valuables boxes, wink, wink. Like the suggestion about bolting in somewhere. Thanks for another informative video.

[@WILDEBILL308]

I always use the locking pin on the towbar. I also take all the safety cables and electrical cables and lock them in a compartment when not in use. I also remove the adapter pins from the car base plate . You know, the parts the towbar attaches to. It would be incontinent to replace them on a trip.

[@Patty747]

We use the 1-UP ebike bikerack. We ordered hitch lock and ebike locks at the same time so they would be keyed alike.

Hey great advice as always. Here in the province of Ontario, Canada you can only have your windows tinted to a certain percentage. Police officers like to be able to see who's inside a vehicle when approaching or for identification from a camera on a building. We too love our privacy though.

[@mtsky-tc6uw]

when you buy a very expensive rv you will be a target especially when mad max hits soon

[@masterbond9]

I have a GPS tracker in both of my vehicles from landairsea, the one i have is the size of a hockey puck, has a built in magnet and does have a built in battery - its a small company that seems to have a lot of contracts with large companies, but it is all made in the US too

[@Surferchicusa]

I’ve been full timing since I was 29 (56 now) and these are all good tips except that the keypad lock is a moot point since the window on the door can be busted, and the door ca be unlocked rom the inside.

[@SMETSYSGNIMIT]

This is a great video with some wonderful tips. I'm going to buy the GPS tracker right away. Your channel has become my favorite RV selection among many others. Greatly appreciate all that you do.

[@EndlessRVing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@chefchris5133]

Definitely some good suggestions. The issue I find with combination locks is that in low light I have a hard time reading the numbers. In my. Vehicles, I have a small drawersafe with a digital lock. I secured it with a thick stainless steel eyebolt And a chain. We immediately upgraded to a digital lock and have cameras. I use y i cameras I got on Amazon. They have a cloud plan that is very affordable for 5 cameras $99 yr. Everything is defeateable but make it a pain in the ass. Good videos.

[@douglinn1583]

While locks will only keep an honest man honest, that's no reason to fore-go their use. It's like buying an insurance policy with only 1 premium payment. Also, I LOVED the big, scarey black gun! I din't realize the differance of air tags and gps units. Thanks for the lesson!

Hi guys, I wish I could say I do all of those; but I can’t. I did install a safe behind my bedroom TV to store my valuables, keys, and of course, my firearms. I don’t travel with a long gun; but, if I did, i would install my gun box under the bed. I’m really kinda interested in the GPS tracker and maybe the Ring camera. You guys really make my wife nervous when you talk about products. Thanks for everything you do for the RV community and thank you Izzy for what you do to keep your municipality safe.

Can you expand on this content to include more on towable security in a future video? Thanks

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

Lost key to my hitch locking pin & researched showed how easy it is to break off - 30 sec max. If you find one that improves on the concept, let us know. The two pins that secure your tow bar to the base mount are also weak areas. I use keyed alike locks NOT the clevis pins most manufacturers provide.

I have the RV Lock brand on my truck camper. I bought the camper in January 2023 and it was one of the first mods I did. However, I would caution people to still carry the corresponding key (not the fob, the actual physical key) because my lock failed twice within the first year and the only reason I was able to get in was because I happened to be carrying my keys that day. Just an FYI 😊

Proven Industries. Hitch pins, towable locks, and all different trailer security items. THE BEST! Pricey, but cheap in value compared to a stolen trailer. American made. Check out these folks. The #1 security action in my humble opinion is situational awareness. If it seems unsafe, it probably is. Tune up your "spidey sense" and watch, watch and watch some more. Stay safe.

Funny thing about people that complain about you making money in an other than "work environment", if you cannot find work or become disabled, they will complain that you're not working and are faking the disability. I learned a funny thing about social security retirement. Yeah, this is totally off topic but everyone should know it. Maybe I should make a video. If I get an hourly job, I can make up to 1770 before they start subtracting the retirement. If I start a business and work 45 hours on the business in a month; whether I make money from that work or not, I lose that month's retirement income.

Don't GPS trackers and Ring-like cameras require an internet connection of some sort in order to transmit location or activity information to you/your phone? So, if I am not in my RV (using my phone as a Hotspot) or if my RV is not somewhere with an available WIFI or cell coverage (in the case of devices having a Sim card with a data plan) how is my RV going to send me information?

[@EndlessRVing]

GPS trackers have cellular built in.

I keep a can of wasp spray by the bed. It has a wonderful range.

Cool video. Yup, nothing is 100%. To explain to those who might not know: There are different grades (class) of thieves: Opportunistic/Newbie: easily defeated by a locked door Amature: Literally Break then enter. They know your secondary is in effect, so they try to be quick. Journeyman: Can also circumvent most secondary systems. Disuade with countermeasures, or tracking. Professional/All of the time in the World: For Professionals, "Time is money." Is your stuff "juicy" enough for them to bring on their full repitore of skills and expensive tools to collect in a quick enough manner to satisfy their internal time::money ratio? For those who have all of the time in the world, hopefully, you can track it. Since you cannot defeat them 100% of the time, does defending against them not worth it? No. The more skilled the thief, the rarer they are, and the less chance to be targetted. The more "stale" your stuff appears to be, and not being able to get in and out quick, causing them to miss out on easier targets will bring them to leave your stuff alone. Why spend 5 min to steal your cat converter, when they could have stolen 3 in the same time frame?

[@EndlessRVing]

Thanks for your thoughts.

[@WyattsTrue]

Do you have a link for the digital door lock you mentioned?

[@EndlessRVing]

Yes we do amzn.to/4aVjbn7

[@WyattsTrue]

@@EndlessRVing Thank you. As a retired LEO, I appreciate your take on the safety topics and items.

Will the cat strap work on the leisure travel van

[@EndlessRVing]

If it has a cat yes

[@bobvedder2451]

Have you used a hidden fuel shut off,so if your Rv gets stolen, it only drives a few feet before the engine dies from no fuel?

[@EndlessRVing]

We do have that ability

[@richk4442]

What’s up with the dirt on that rig Izzy 😂

[@YouTubeRanch]

What’s the orange thing on the muffler? Does anyone know? Thanks 😊

[@YouTubeRanch]

Never mind, cat strap 🤗🙃

Oh wow, I always check to make sure I'm still subscribed and it finally happened to me. . .I wasn't subscribed. UGH! YT why you do this????

[@EndlessRVing]

Yikes! Thanks for checking. :)

[@user-ex2oo9lf3b]

We've been looking at a small safe to stow under the bed. Would there be a better place to put it?

[@EndlessRVing]

Wherever you can secure it

[@williamolliges2622]

I’ve been considering using carriage bolts (through the board) and nuts (on the inside of the box) to attach mine to the underside of the board that lifts up. Might be the first place someone’d look, but they’ll have to break the security box to get it out.

[@stevemcbride2685]

Great security tips, I gave basically the same tips out 20 years ago. I retired in 2007. The AirTags weren’t around back then but most everything else was. Typically no one cares until they become the “victim”, then of course it’s the Police’s fault.

[@stevemcbride2685]

No on that

[@EndlessRVing]

Agree!

These items keep honest people honest. So to speak.

Doesn’t your dark RV make keeping it cool in the summer, difficult?

[@EndlessRVing]

No we have excellent insulation

[@cindyvining7866]

Be careful, batteries go dead on keyless locks.

[@EndlessRVing]

They are rechargeable
