I was looking for a remote operated alarm for fitting on our bike rack as well as my chain to protect our e-bikes.

Got this little unit below on eBay and looks like it will do the trick. Obviously nothing will stop some bar stewards - but does give a warning if the bike is moved.

It is movement activate (with variable sensitivity settings so sleeping in the motorhome is not an issue) and has a very noisey ear piercing alarm and flashing red light. It is operated by a small remote so can be set/reset from the inside of the motorhome. It is fitted to the bike frame and can also be used for security if parking your bike up with chain or whatever. Doubles up as a rear bike light for night riding. The light/ alarm is very small - about the size of a Roulette Chip!

Might be worth a look if you have concerns for bike security.

Thanks for sharing Might look to use with my Liteloks as an early warning
 
I have a padlock which when moved makes a very loud siren type noise.
 
If you have a VanBitz alarm fitted to your MoHo there is an option to add a bike loop spur.
(We have one, the bikes always have it connected, even when loaded on the bike rack and secured with bike locks)

The bike long loop is a wire with a simple push connector in it.
You simply wrap the wire through the bikes, BBQ, outside furniture and join the two ends.

The VanBitz alarm can then be set to include (or exclude) the bike loop, so if the wire is cut or disconnected the main alarm goes off in the van (You don't want to be near a VanBitz alarm at full volume)

I've the socket for that alarm fitted to my motorhome - but not the loop cable (VanBitz said that can supply one).
A question please. If you are snuggled up in bed with the alarm active (interior movement sensors off of course), would the loop bieng cut activate the alarm sirens under the van rather than deafen the occupants inside with the internal siren - this is assuming you can arm the alarm in this way.
Ta.

That would a question to AshVanBitz.

The cable is simple enough to make up yourself.
You just need a trailer plug, 5m of bell wire and a two pin shower proof electrical connector.
