RV Diesel Theft Is Skyrocketing — Here's What You Can Do About It

## RV Diesel Theft Is Skyrocketing — Here's What You Can Do About It
**Diesel motorhomes are the #1 target for fuel theft because they carry the most fuel with the least protection.** A typical Super C on a Ford F-550 or F-600 chassis carries 50–80 gallons of diesel per side — that's $250–$400+ per tank at current prices. Both fuel caps are completely exposed on the chassis rail.
### Why Diesel RVs Are Prime Targets
- **Massive tanks:** 50–100+ gallons of diesel worth $250–$500+
- **Dual exposed caps:** Super C motorhomes have fuel caps on BOTH sides
- **DEF caps too:** The blue DEF cap is also unprotected
- **Parked overnight:** Campgrounds, Walmart lots, rest areas
### The Real Cost of Diesel Theft
- **$250–$500** in fuel per incident
- **$1,500–$2,500** for fuel tank repairs if thieves drill the tank
- **$8,000–$20,000** for engine/emissions damage from contaminated DEF
### How to Protect Your Diesel RV
**Step 1: Lock down your fuel ports.** The RV Fuel Vault covers both diesel AND DEF caps under tamper-resistant keyed locks.
**Step 2: Park smart.** Position your fuel caps against walls or other vehicles.
**Step 3: Stay informed.** Join Super C owner groups that share theft alerts.
### The RV Fuel Vault for Diesel Motorhomes
- Covers both diesel fuel cap AND DEF cap (3-Pack option)
- Same key opens both sides
- Bolt-on in 8–15 minutes per side
**Pricing:** Single Door: $99.95 | Set of 2: $199.95 | 3-Pack with DEF: $299.95
