Dead Kill Switch? Suggestions?
The family and I will be traveling with our TT this summer and will some times do the overnights in the Walmartz parking lots. I'd like to add a dead kill switch to the Ex to make sure nobody takes the family truckster for a wild spin while we're asleep in the trailer in back.
What have you used and what would you recommend or this? I know I could pull a fuse but I'd like a handier, yet still sound solution.
Thanks!

Bad Info, PATS actually is very good at what it does but its a pain when doing some aftermarket stuff. that said if you really want to be ****, run a switch to the Park Neutral Position sensor. then you can fool it into thinking its in Drive and it will never crank over...

So, along the thinking PATS will protect from theft, then a secondary anti-theft system is money best not spent? I'm thinking of systems like RAVELCO being overkill for our trucks. Semi-hijacked, sorry.

NICE IDEA, Thanks Southpaw! I just might be **** since it'll be me and the family in the back.

Make two signs, tape one to the inside of driver's window,
tape one to the inside of the passenger's window.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT TOW
WE ARE IN THE TRAILER
TRUCK IS BROKEN DOWN
UNTIL WE GET PARTS
IN THE MORNING!
Nobody will break in knowing you are within ear shot and could be armed,
and nobody is going to steal it for a joyride if it's already broken down!
Think this sounds silly? Try it and see how effective it is. Criminals and stupid.
