RPOD Security Tips ?

We are new to RVing with our new RPod to be delivered shortly. I have been looking at all manner of devices that are meant to secure the hitch. Are there recommendations anyone would care to make? Also, I read that the storage compartment locks on RV's may be universal and need upgrading or changing. Any recommendations? We have an open bed truck as the tow vehicle and wonder if anyone has solved the storage/security issue for a truck with something less than a topper or Tonneau cover? Finally, has anyone used the LED battery powered motion lights for the outside of the Pod?

While I understand that if thieves want to strike, they will. I just like the idea of slowing them down as much as possible and making them work for it!

Any and all replies are much appreciated in advance!

     For the storage compartment doors I left the original locks that work with a key on. But the turn lock without key I replaced with a small combination lock, I think it was called a cam lock. If you go to the rpod nation web site you could find it useing the search function or check the modification posts. With both locks on each side it less likely to be pried open. But if a thief wanted too, they could pry it open useing a tool. We use a hitch lock while being parked in our driveway. We have insurance that is our last protection.     David and Danette

Update:

Originally posted by techntrek You can also add a coupler lock, which effectively fills up the cup where the ball resides.  However, thieves have been known to just drive up, wrap the security chains around a few times and drive off even with one of them in place.  Another option is a wheel lock, which will immobilize the wheel.

Then add locking lug nuts too.

David,

Maybe you should give a safety seminar at the next RPOD get together. HMMMMM...don't you love it when people volunteer you for something.
