Security

Absolutely right - I was just going to post the same comment. Very much an impractical solution I fear. 

I’d go for a steering lock, and a pedal clamp. The last thing a thief will want as well is a lot of noise. A simple device like a personal attack alarm, carefully positioned to go off if disturbed might be useful. We use two such on our bikes when left on back of our MH overnight on Site. Loud enough to wake the whole camp if they go off, or the neighbours at home.

Unless the thieves are intending to steal anything from the interior, a wheel clamp would be a good indicator on the outside to hopefully deter them from breaking in initially.....

If they're 'pros' they'll still come equipped but for the 'chancer' it may make them look for an easier option.....

Thanks. Good idea re. the pedal clamp. Had an ex Met policeman who now advises on home security out yesterday and he recommended the same thing - one of these 'Car Stainless Brake Clutch Pedal Lock Steering Wheel Lock Security Anti-Theft', and yes I'm going to get a wheel clamp - but does anyone have  a particular one to recommend??

This is what I use.....Milenco 2745 

£84.30 on Amazon, £100.39 on Towsure...

End of the day, it's a deterrent, regardless of how good it may be.....

Thanks!

The habitation door was also damaged in the attempt to steal - it's now buckled in the middle and the repairer say's it'll be very difficult and expensive [circa £2-3k] to find a replacement. Does anyone have any advice re. sourcing such a part for an 2013 Eldiss Autoquest?

Won't your insurers sort the door issue for you?

I hope so. I think the repairer is simply saying he's unlikely to source the door.

Maybe I should contact Eldiss?

That's why I have an external visual deterrent in the hope that entry wouldn't be attempted/forced.....

2013 build, I would have thought spares would still be available!
