The #1 problem with RVing is a fire, not theft. Have you ever seen a video of how fast they explode into flames? You wouldn't have time to get to your lockbox. Your first concern should be to get out. Period.

We also scan documents, do computer backups and send a copy to our daughter's. We wouldn't loose a thing except perhaps some time re-creating our files.
