While in winter storage our Coachmen Freedom Express 254DSX was broken into. The rear hatch locks to our tip out bunk were broken off so the tip out could be lowered. Also an outer cargo storage compartment was forced open.

In this video we show you the damage to our trailer and the process to fix the damage. We installed new rear hatch locks and installed a new finger lock pull to the cargo storage lock. We also offer a few tips for storage and how to protect yourself financially if you have a theft from your trailer or it was stolen or destroyed.
