I need some input on security
is there any box that fits the batteries? I have 2 batteries and the space between them and the trailers seems tight and the trailer tends to curve there if not, there is a lockable strap? box for propane? guys around me say stealing propane not uncommon pad lock for tongue also had my first learning experience ! slightly bent tongue jack. concerned it may have stress the screw. though it is functional does it need to be replaced? flip up jack? wheel on it? electric or is that over kills nanc ------------- Namaste |

I suppose it depends on where you live, and/or have the RV stored. Never a bad idea to lock down the battery and propane, especially if it's stored in a RV storage yard. There are lockable battery boxes available, but here's a cheap alternative: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-8417D-Adjustable-Locking/dp/B000XTPNZK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436792515&sr=8-1&keywords=python+lock I have a couple of these wrapped around my batteries and propane tank, no worries! Electric tongue jack is a great idea, I love mine! ------------- 2016 179 - Hood River Edition 2008 Nissan Xterra |

Best method is to take the battery and tank home. Any chain will be removed in minutes or seconds. I 2nd an electric jack especially if you have a WDH. I had a flip up jack on my pod but wish I put an electric on there. It was one of the first things I added to my Salem. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
