[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.
