None of the above are cheap, but when all your toys are stolen in the middle of the night, it hurts. I know.

They look like some good locks!

I use multiple gold assured locks on the bikes in my brick workshop, including on the access door, but because I know nothing will stop somebody who really wants them I also have them separately insured.

inside the van is the only answer..............so you sleep outside and bike(s) sleep in the van

I built a Transit conversion so both I and the bike sleep safely inside without either of us being disassembled.

Below is an old photo from early in the build. Eventually installed a jack-knife bed that is easy to unfold with the bike (now Turbo Levo) stored in the "garage."

Here's what it looks like finished, without the bike in the garage.

I'd be interested to know what you are using to secure your bikes when on the road. Most insurance companies (UK) want you to use 'gold' standard locks and chains.

I have a VW Transporter camper. I have an ebike specific tow ball bike carrier.

I'm under no illusion that if a thief wants them and comes prepared that no lock will stop them and I'm ott about not leaving the bikes out of my sight.

I intend at night locking them to the side of my van in the awning and sleeping with the side door open.

TIA

Yes that's a brilliant set up . I have to take wheels off mine . Only room for that if I'm on my own.

Thanks!

Mine is a one-person rig. The missus doesn't ride, and didn't want to go with me, but did get her own RV for Glamping with girlfriends.

In the upper right of the photo is installed a fork mount bracket. I was removing the wheel to store it there until I had the epiphany one day that the bike would actually fit diagonally with both wheels attached.

Mines a small Toyota Alphard. A rear conversion would have been better than my side one.

I use a Pitbull gold with toughened cable and the supplied lock on my escorpion bike carrier and a 24” breaker bar next to me in the car if anyone wants to risk me wrapping it round their neck trying to get my bike in heavy traffic or while parked up
