You Installed a Backup Camera — But Your Fuel System Has Zero Security
A backup camera is essential for safe driving. But it doesn't protect your rig when it's parked. While you're backing into a campsite with confidence, your fuel cap is sitting exposed on the other side — unlocked and vulnerable.
What Your Backup Camera Can't See
Most RV crime happens while you're parked:
- Fuel siphoning at campgrounds — usually between midnight and 5 AM
- Fuel contamination from vandals
- DEF theft or contamination on diesel rigs
