[A/S] Wheel boot for anti-theft (was trailer lock)
Check out the photos section. My folder is called "1979 31'
International center bath."
The last photo shows my anti-theft device, a municipal grade wheel
boot. If you do a search on the net for "wheel boot" you will come
up with a number of manufacturers to choose from.
I got this particular one from Rhino and as I recall it cost a few
hundred dollars. It came with a special tool for
removal/installation, which can be done in less than a minute but you
have to remove the wheel cover.
A co-worker's Jayco trailer was stolen from a locked storage lot
during the off-season last year. He just had a padlock on the
hitch. Although I park my trailer next to my house, after hearing
his tale I didn't want to take any chances.
