Securing batteries in forward compartment (Security)

Hi,

I just installed a bunch of expensive LIFePO4 batteries in my forward storage compartment. Other than the lock on the baggage door, has anyone come up with a way to lock their batteries down to prevent 'walk-aways'? I have the RV at a site at a provincial park for a month at a time (spring and fall) when we're there only on weekends, so I'm wary. Don't want to call particular attention by adding anything extra to the baggage door.

  • Kind of an interesting article, but the OP already has his batteries, he just wants to keep them. The article doesn't really address the security issue the OP is wondering about.

    I thought this was a pretty good article on GOOGLE SEARCH...

    The 5th wheel has a nice recessed area across the front of it and you can vent to the back and have holes in bottom for draining to the ground...

    Probably a bunch of articles on GOOGLE SEARCH doing this...
