Protecting Power Cord from Theft
The expensive power cord of our 2017 Jayco 5th wheel is detachable and we're concerned that it could be stolen. How should we secure it to protect it from theft?

Interesting discussion, and nice to know that so many people have not had things stolen. Sadly, we don't all live in theft-free zones.
I am also fortunate; never had a cord stolen. But i HATE leaving that expensive 50amp cord on the street when I bring it home to prepare for a trip. I do like the one suggestion of wrapping a chain around it and making it harder to take.
My best solution, however, it to just not use the big cable if I think it is at risk. Most things can run on propane (such as getting the fridge cold for a trip) and a 15amp cord is enough to power a charger for the batteries.
