Do you ever worry about theft of portable dish units?

I finally ordered a King Tailgater for my living quarters horse trailer. I was wondering what precautions I should take, or if there are any?

    Most homeowners policies have a deductible that is greater than the cost of the Tailgater.
  • I don't worry in controlled parks. But I cable it up in places that are free range to the general public.

That happened last year in Florida but I caught it when I went to break down camp and move. Carefully removed the cover and used a compressor to blow out the nasty little critters. Now I spray a circle of pest control after setup. Seems to be working, no more ants.
  • I generally do not worry much about it. I bought a plastic coated steel dog tie out cable from Home Depot and use it to lock my Tailgater to a tree, post, strut, etc. But I don't always use it. Depends a lot on where we are staying.
  • I have an 8' length of cable and padlock that i bought when I first purchased tailgater but rarely use it. Not had any problems.
