"BIG FOOT 16"

For all of you who are looking for some ideas for their camper here a hint to the subject safety.

Once robbers have opened our old VW LT camper by using a simple screwdriver to open the standard VW locking I have “stolen” myself the following idea of another camper colleague form the VW LT 4x4 club.

A normal locking, normally used in doors was mounted into the cabin. The bolt of the locking reaches into a hole of the door. This provides a safe protection against robbers!

This idea was integrated as well into Big Foot. I have added a cover as an environmental protection and to hide the keyhole from these funny guys who want to enjoy me by putting chewing gum or other stuff into the keyhole.

Unfortunately I only found these covers so far only in two specialised shops and I can assure that they were not cheap! Who still wants to have them I can only recommend to print this picture and go with it to a dealer / shop who is specialised on security / safety items for doors. 

 

Of course all the keys are the same type for the camper and our house. But we have a key system and so the keys for the drivers cabin have a lower access level. So we don’t have to leave our master key in case of a garage stop. Main thing for me is to have one key for everything!
