Wife and I are spending 19 days in a campervan this coming October. We will be visiting friends in Berkeley for 2 days so have 17 days to "d...

I have little experience with diesels as the motorhome is my first diesel. I wish to know how to easily make the vehicle undriveable so that if the motorhome was left overnight in a remote location and we took off in the towed vehicle we would sleep better knowing it could not be driven away.
