I bought them and at around £6 or whatever each, not cheap. I found most of mine were ill fitting and really hard to adjust to fit. Would never get them again.

Did you get the correct ones for your windows, Nick? I believe Motorhome windows are easy to open, will these stop that or will a thief just jimmy the window anyway? Maybe money spent on an alarm would be better spent.

Just pull the window open with locks in place, it's so easily done I don't think any sort of lock like the above is worth considering unfortunately. A thief isn't going to worry about damaging your van.

I agree with Ally. If some lowlife wants in, a bit of paint or perspex will hardly stop him. Earlier in the year Aldi or Lidl were selling window alarms, we fitted these but never use them. The beauty of my van is the dark windows, it's hard to tell if the van is occupied or not. That really is all the deterrent we need.

Yes Pat, before I bought I sent them pics and details.

Oh the joys of a van conversion with sliding glass windows which lock in flush

We bought one to try. Found it easy to fit and then bought more. Each window has one or two. They slide onto the bottom window levers and the "Lock em out" text is clearly visible from outside. We considered an alarm, but the price put us off. Having been broken into in Copenhagen via a window, where the window locks were just jemmied off - I do think these would make it harder.
Any visible deterrent is worth having.
