I use stainless steel cable for all items to be locked up out side with a good quality padlock. I wrap the cable around the handle a few times of my generator if being used then around the Aframe or some other solid part of CV. Won't stop a real thief but slow them down a bit but stop the passer by.

Hi Brickies, I do similar to Dougwe. Security strap from handle to caravan wheel trim. In addition I wrap a chain around the Waico (end to end through the handles) with a padlock. And just for an "over kill" I have a sign on the lid stating "Warning security system active". Reason, grog is precious to me :)

I use a chain & lock thru the wheel rim. I use the same chain & lock to secure it to a tie down loop in the Partrol. It's long enough (circa 1.5M) to go thru both handles & reach the 3rd row seat floor latch/loop.

I made up 1x9mt, 1x6mt and 3x3mt. I don't use the 9mt one much as that is for if I use my 120w ground level Solar Panel but with 450w sitting up on top of van I find I don't need the 120w these days. I just use whatever size suits the item being locked up.
