Reminder why RV Security is so important

Monday, January 18th, 2010

rv_burglar_breakinThe following story reinforces why RV burglar alarm security systems and common sense are so important when you go RVing. From the familybadge.org:

A 52-year-old man told officers he was asleep in his RV when he heard someone outside knocking on his front door.

He then felt the RV rocking back and forth and opened the side door to look outside whereupon a man grabbed it and pulled it open. The man was standing in front of the victim wearing a red t-shirt and a witch Halloween mask, pointing a black semi-automatic pistol at him.

The attacker demanded money and then hit the victim on the left side of his head with the pistol, breaking his hearing aid. The victim lunged at the suspect and began to struggle with him and managed to pull his mask off.

The robber was a black man, early 20’s, heavy set, between 5′09″ and 5′11″,wearing a red t-shirt, dark colored pants and a witch mask. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at: 409-945-8477.

So, enjoy your time on your RV vacations, be excited to full-time RV, get out there and be a RV buyer….just remember to be cautious and careful by using a wireless RV alarm and the brain that God gave you.

RV Hard-wired versus wireless security systems

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Should you chose a hard-wired security system or a wireless security system?

For homes, the common consensus is to go for a hard-wired security system unless you expect to be selling the house in a few years. The main reason for this thinking is…batteries. Often you will get a false alarm when batteries go dead in motion sensors if you don’t check them on the wireless systems. Wireless systems also go through a large amount of batteries and replacing these batteries can become a full-time job. If one or more batteries fail while you are out RVing and away from home, that point of protection is worthless.

Another reason is component failure and components can be hard to obtain as manufacturers discontinue products and move on to new technology. Thus, if any amount of time passes, it is possible that parts will no longer be available and new models will no longer be compatible with your current system. This may mean that you will have to invest in a completely new security system instead of just repairing what you currently have.

If you do go with a hard-wired system and make sure you spec the security system with internal and external sirens. Many owners tend to skip getting the internal siren, but internal sirens are very loud and can make a burglar think twice about picking your home.

However, if you are installing the system on your RV, a wireless system might be the perfect solution. Especially a system that pages your cell phone if something is disturbed and monitors motion on doors.

There have been many reported incidents lately of thieves breaking in to RVs in storage facilities and stealing newly installed HD and/or plasma TV’s. Or maybe burglar’s are targeting RV’s expecting to find other electronics, important papers, or other valuable items that RV owners have left in the RV while it is stored for the off season.
