Sounds good. That's where I keep my fishing cart on our Cape Hatteras stay! Thanks Leo

Let me check, I have had them awhile, they are solar powered - no batteries and have an on/offswitch, so you don't have to have them on. I think I bought them off eBay. Set of 4. Single screw mount. I put two on the slider side, because the slider is a block and one on the door side up front, because I put my fishing stuff near the tongue.

Hey Mike, did you get a certain brand. I like the idea of the extra protection.

Hey Leo B,
I have three on Pod so can select where I want motion activated light, they work well. They are solar powered and common on line. Had positive comments from friendlies about walking up to camper and being startled by light. I don't want anybody picking my stuff up and have had experience with folks walking thru my campsite.

Thinking of adding some motion lights also!

I changed all of the storage compartment locks to match the door key. One less key to worry about. Easy mod to make. Note that the company does not offer a replacement lock for the outside shower because it is so small/short. The link to RV Locks and More is below:

I replaced all my 751 locks with cam barrels using the same key that opens the door. Very convenient to only have to use one key. I also put cable locks around spare tire (has prevented one theft) and propane tanks and added hitch locks. More importantly, I mounted a security box inside my RP178 under the dinette, with bolts that go through the floor. If we need to leave something truly valuable like a purse or a laptop, it goes in there. The box I bought is available at:

I agree with other comments that stuff like lawn chairs aren't too expensive to replace, but: -- there's a lot of inconvenience. It took trips to three RV stores to replace the spare tire cover that got thrown away by the thieves that wanted to steal the spare tire. -- I know I and my wife would feel a sense of violation if someone rifled through our stuff. We will feel better if we at least did some minimum security improvements.
I still need to add the motion detector LED lights, if only so I don't trip at night returning from the bathhouse!

I put in a 4-digit combination lock with a circular key override. If someone wants to try 10,000 combinations, have at it.

I have 3 solar powered security lights on the POD, motion activated. Inexpensive, you come near the camper at night a light comes on, I'm respectful of fellow campers. They don't light if you are 20' away. I also have my TN provided concealed carry decal applied, just a heads up. Where I live in rural TN we have a lot of meth issues, you have to be secure with your property and possessions, these folks are like the walking dead.
