No Generator Compartment Lock
2014 Fuzion 301 TH I find it odd the generator compartment is the only compartment or door on this vehicle that has no locking method; just two thumb screw type latches. Is that normal to leave ...

Rarely if ever is there a lock on the generator compartment, as the replies here indicate.
It took me the better part of a day to drop the generator from my motorhome, and I found out once it was down that I should have driven up on a ramp or two for better clearance to pull it out. I suppose it would be a somewhat quicker process if you didn't care about putting it back and were willing to just cut the wires and gas line rather than disconnect them properly; in that case, at least on my motorhome, there would be no need at all to open the compartment door, as everything necessary to drop the generator aside from opening its maintenance door to disconnect stuff is accessible from the underside.
At 170 pounds or so, it's not very easy to steal. Frankly it would be far more lucrative (in terms of value vs time expended) to steal the catalytic converters, and be equally as subtle to those around.
