Hey guys I’ve had one of those kovix locks for a few years now for my van fitted with DO35 and figured out a little hack you’d interested in, I don’t bother with the anti cutting sleeve but instead put the locking pin through the last link of each chain underneath the hitch that way it can’t be stolen by the chains either.
Hey Josh, mate I wish I knew this before we filmed this video haha great tip! almost a game changer that..damm im kicking myself that would of made the video a lot better! thanks for the tip mate
I was just going to comment that you can still tow off the chains/wouldn't it be nice if you could lock the chains, also.... etc. Nice one. Might look at getting one now. (Edited: Bought one, used the code. Wonderful!)
What a great entertaining informative educational video on security for our vans. Loved it. Very comedic but still serious on an important issue. Well done guys.
Looks like a great bit of kit.....I have knocked the pin out of the DO35 nut so I can undo it, slide the coupling out and take it with me, then lock the chains back so they dont dangle .......works for me, takes 5 minutes.....Enjoying your vids...keep them coming..
nice. Unfortunately the Witi system is out of our price budget and for a lot of other trailer owners to expensive. I couldn't imagine fitting a Witi system to a box trailer haha that would be funny though haha I think this lock is cheap, easy to instal and in a lot of travellers budgets!
Don't worry about the witi system either same thing smash the alarm box or easy way is you can use expander foam but in this case you use portable angle grinder and portable bolt cutters. With witi you cut the brakes so the caravan has no breaks and tow away when we use stolen vehicles we are not concerned the damage to the vehicle we are towing with or the caravan. Then you have the other type as oppose to those prepared to deal your stuff is the ones that will attack you for your stuff which is on the rise more then the people coming prepared now they will take your life instead. This stuff works only for someone who just rocked up with a car to steal your stuff that is it. A good gps will be one of your best and good insurance.
Great hitch lock ,isolated camp locations always a concern but fantastic camping.Though they are great grinders & 1 mm cutting wheels are the enemy of locks ,definitely secure your chains many are towed away in this way. I have fitted a tracker to the van & cruiser. Safe travel guys.
I bought one of these last week and have to agree the sound can be muffled easily but, I have to say I am disappointed with the volume of the alarm when it’s sounds, honestly my standard ringing phone ring tone is louder than the actual alarm going off, not the warning tones. Any suggestions to what I might have missed or not set up correctly? Very happy with the key/lock and durability though.
Hi folks, liked your video so much I went and bought one, and we don't even have a caravan!!!! Got one on order, but have to wait about a year for it ;-) guess you can't be too prepared. Love your work, safe travels
Hey mate! Can never be too prepared!! What van have you got on order? You’ll love the lock! We haven’t had anything this flash before and we have never felt more comfortable leaving the van
@@SarahandKeelanTravels hey there, we've ordered an Urban Tuff - 20'6 Cafe from Hinterland Caravans at Burleigh Heads - hopefully someone cancels and we get bumped up the list....can't wait
So first: super glue inside the speaker holes. Second: hook up the chains and drive away. If you want to remove it, run a steel drift through that cheap lock, use a jumper box to smoke that annoying alarm.. NEXT
Gday Len! Glad you saved a couple bucks mate! Thankyou from us for watching the channel! Let us know how you find the lock! We love ours, heavy duty and well engineered! It’s given us peace of mind when leaving the van unattended!
hahaha glad you liked it Ness! for sure cheap insurance and a good investment. for us we don't really stress to much about leaving the van places. we used to stress out a lot about it
Cool video and the only flaw I saw was the chains that are not locked too. Buy Josh 👇down here figured it out. Thanx Josh We had such a laugh at your stint buddy it was insane 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanx guys love your work plenty very much. John&Rene
Asking for a friend , Will this thing go off if your vigorous in the Van some people are heavy footed walking from bed to Loo ? Do you recommend turning OFF the Unit while your inside Van ,Interested in your experiences as you have used it for sometime .
Narh they won’t at all, we have tested it before showing you legends so it’s “howling wind proof” and dosnt go off when your heavy footed either, I’m an elephant in the van without the stabilise legs down too and it’s all good !! It gives you three chances so even if someone knocked it walking past it will beep, so it really tells you when someone is having a crack at your van
It’s a shame that you can’t negotiate better discounts that actually help us out and in turn earn you more money. This discount takes the higher price protrek are charging down to a similar price to others. Also the online deals at iTech world are usually cheaper than your 10% code. It is a shame as I see you are putting in a lot of effort, we’ll done guys.
hey mate! We like to Promote the products that make life easier on the road and think you guys may benefit from aswell! As a bonus we like to try negotiate a discount to save our viewers money as a thank you for supporting the channel! I see your point though, very very true! on the other side at least there is a discount code and Saving 50-100$ on a battery is better than saving 0$! thanks for the comment mate I get your point maybe you can negotiate for us as an advisor haha

You can have removable chains
What a great entertaining informative educational video on security for our vans. Loved it. Very comedic but still serious on an important issue. Well done guys.
Thanks legend! We love using a bit of humour in our review vids!! Glad you had a little laugh haha 😂
Now that intro was different.
Certainly brought a smile to my dial! Cleverly done Keelan.
At 7 mins it was short and informative.
Safe travels.
Hahaha thanks mate!! Glad you enjoyed it! Not much to it. Well designed, high quality bit of kit! You too mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Love your style guys!! ❤
Intro was so funny 😂
I have been binge watching your trip 😊
You guys are the "LEGENS"
Looks like a great bit of kit.....I have knocked the pin out of the DO35 nut so I can undo it, slide the coupling out and take it with me, then lock the chains back so they dont dangle .......works for me, takes 5 minutes.....Enjoying your vids...keep them coming..
Great idea mate! Never thought of that! Always blown away by simple yet effective ideas you lot have
I love the lead got a good chuckle. Great idea
Thanks legend
That's a really good idea, wow. Make more comedies as it's done quite well. The lock is great too.
Thanks Malc, we are not big on being sales people! its easier to create a slap stick humour demonstration haha
We have the cruise master hitch lock for D035 and the Witi alarm system which I highly recommend it locks your brakes on so can’t be towed

Haha, loved it, especially Sarah's part. Very funny :)

Thanks Ian! It’s just a bit of added security! Not saying it’s unstoppable but it helps!
Have one myself and thoroughly recommend. There is one design weakness, the speaker is easily muffled with a piece of electrical tape or similar.
We love ours too mate!! The alarm is bloody loud wow it goes off!!
