Nice work! It should definitely send any would-be thief elsewhere to look for an easier target.

Nice set up!  Did you end up using the plastic battery boxes too? How hard is it to get at the batts to water them?

I like that better than the Stomberg-Carlsen Trailer Tray I use. I would also replace my version of battery lock-down and the trailer tray with one of these if it were available at a reasonable price. I like that it is lower and does not require one to lift the generator as high, yet one can still easily access the batteries for service (I noticed the hinges on the generator carrier part).

Sounds like you have it fully sorted. I'd buy one too if I wasn't already at my tongue weight limit....
