Combination lock on a slam latch?

There IS a real theft danger here if you're storing your trailer at a storage facility. I speak from experience. Our 5th wheel was broken into not once, but twice. Thankfully after the first time and having to replace the flat-screen TV, we learned not to store anything of value in it.
After the second break-in at the same facility, my DH installed crossbars on all storage compartments as well as padlocked the front door, all with combination locks. Not aesthetically pleasing to look at, but does the job.
The OP's concerns are not unreasonable here. Also, we now live in a home where we have property large enough to store the trailer ourselves. Definitely a factor in our home purchase too. (And I can camp at home!)

I agree there is a risk for RV's in storage. Unattended things like bikes,chairs and coolers may disappear at some of the more unscrupulous CG's.
Yet I stick by my comments that it is very rare for a theft to occur inside of an RV that is being used especially at a CG with others Around vs. a remote boondocking scenario. Continuously locking and unlocking compartments is not necessary.
While combination lock would alleviate the need for a key, even spinning the dial is more hassle than I care to deal with.
Ultimately my point is by locking the compartments the only person I'm keeping out and inconveniencing is myself. A genuine thief will access the compartments in seconds. It won't matter if the compartments are locked or not. IF a thief shows up it will come down to do your want damaged doors and missing stuff or just missing stuff!
The redeeming factor is fortunately a bonafide thief seldom if ever strikes occupied campers in a CG.
