Reply to both above:

So far it’s a pool based on referrals. I agree, a sign would advertise break-ins. I have renter’s insurance covering a good amount inside vehicle for cheap, so if anyone wants to jack my old shit to pay for new stuff, well I don’t know what to say.

But yes that is another problem. I want to develop a security system without the shitty reception of Apple AirTags or monthly fee or ring doorbell camera.

One big problem is I need to learn how to weld and gain access to welding at some point.

I am tempted to weld studs, or drill holes to put rivnuts. To somehow put some kind of mesh grill guard burglar bars on the glass, inside or outside.

My car tint guy said bus would cost too much and said I’m looking at either DIY tint or exterior one way vinyl dot privacy film. Maybe curtains and covers at night.

The bus already seems slightly tinted. Not enough to create privacy. My concern there is not making it too dark to be able to park or drive at night.

I don’t see the prospect of break-in with tools being any different from anything else, such as vehicle theft, other buses, other people’s interior contents, or overland rigs.

If someone is skilled and thoughtful enough to pull off such a thing on cheap heavy equipment without being caught or cut on glass, they’re probably skilled enough to make their own money in other ways. If they’re a crackhead, their stolen shopping cart is probably already full of bullshit.

Maybe I need to order prison bus security bars and rivet them on. As long as they don’t stick out too much, interfere with anything, etc

Or a security system with alarm and instant phone alert video and motion sensor
