This is a thorough description of how to secure your overland vehicle, more specifically for a Volkswagen Vanagon but can be of help with any overland vehicle. We describe how you can secure all your windows with security bars, secure all exterior belongings, interior/exterior locks and vehicle theft prevention on any overland vehicle. It doesn't matter what kind of overland vehicle you have for installing security bars on your windows. The only thing that will change is the design of them and how they are installed to the body of the vehicle. We've seen some on the outside and some on the inside but we prefer to blend in as much as possible so we went with them inside behind tinted glass. These bars are the most important part of your vehicles security; your car being secure while you're away and also while you're sleeping inside of it. We seldom sleep in secure areas or campsites cause we don't see the point in paying to park our vehicle somewhere for the night when we can always find a place for free. We just prepare ourselves for the worse case scenario which would be somebody trying to break into it. The measures we have taken will not only protect you against theft of your belongings outside your overland vehicle but also secure yourself and your belongings inside your vehicle while you sleep so you will definitely sleep a little better no matter where you park. If somebody decides they still want to try to gain entry you will surely have enough time to hop in the drivers seat if need be and take off. When we sleep in our Vanagon once the door closes we feel safe and comfortable with our defensive and if need be offensive ways to keep us safe from the bad people out there. We don't run across them often but just be ready for it if that time comes. There is nothing worse than going on a beautiful hike or exploring a town with the worry about your overland vehicle being broke into. By following this instructional video you can put your mind at ease to enjoy your travels much more and always come back to your Vanagon or whatever your overland vehicle of choice is still there and in one piece.
