This is brilliant. Thanks so much. I hope it works in my hatchback, as I want to feel more security when I travel and sleep in my vehicle.

Good tip. I've always wound my windows down and leaned out to check the cab doors are locked on mine (Boxer/Ducato). The central locking appears quite dysfunctional despite endless reconfiguration. I've taken to anchoring the slide doors too with webbing straps from inside as they so often do not lock. My van is only a few years old but has always had problems with locking on all doors. The main issues are when you are inside. Most additional locks available for campervans are of little use for locking when you are in the van. I wish these vans had some kind of mechanical internal locking system

Agreed, I always found the lock operation not very reassuring on the Duke. If this simple solution helps people sleep easier then it has achieved something 🤗👍

We had an industrial webbing strap from door to door, While we slept at 0300 in the morning the assholes took out the front quarter light with a Stanley knife and cut through the webbing as if it was butter (the cut was so clean) they took all we had from the front of the van.... Please upgrade from webbing straps

@@Moho-bits I always use the main switch on the dash. When the red light is on, it's all locked. A motion sensing perimeter alarm would be a neat idea though: to get early warning. Maybe parking sensors could be adapted and used by an Auduino or raspberry Pi ?

But it means the seats cannot be in the rear facing position. Ours are always in the rear facing position overnight. So interesting idea, but not for us. We just use the alarm in perimeter only mode.

@@Moho-bits Don't see my remark as negatif. Pro's can open doors with sort of copy code transcoder. They open the door a little bit and then they have easy access to the seat belt. I know it is difficult to protect your MoHo and like you suggest = slowing down the thief make him hopelly stopping them. I don't know if you do this during the day to and then you have to count on your neighbours (social surveillance). But like I sais earlier : it stays a difficult topic : securing the MoHo .

@@MM-ul7sb I appreciate your comments and there is no definitive solution to this problem. At the end of the day it is what ever provides peace-of -mind sleeping at night. If the belts are set tight enough I don't think the door would open wide enough to allow the belts to be cut (through a gap in the door).
