Security on the Road

MsBoyink read some stories last night of people getting their rigs broken into while on the road—and it reminded me how many valuables we will have.  Between computers, laptops, cameras, GPS units, etc - we might be ripe pickings for a break-in.  I plan to look into adding some secure storage where all of the smaller items can be stowed away, and an alarm system for the RV.  A quick search turned up a number of links:

Different lockable drawers, compartments and bags:

Locks
The general recommendation is to change the locks - especially if buying used.  Who knows who had a key, and many of the RV manufacturers use the same lock hardware for storage compartments - which means someone else’s key may work.

Another idea is to build a hidden compartment/safe under the floor and concealed by carpet.
