Portable Solar Security

Thinking about a portable solar system for my small TT but wondering how to secure such a system? Seems like a bit of a target for theft.
  • When we were at Yellowstone a camper had it chained locked to the front of the trailer. I have a cable lock that we use,a lot of the time I lock it to the picnic table. Have never had a problem.

    The only way to be totally secure would be an armed guard 24-7-365.
  • I went down that portable road before,....ain't nothing good about it IMO, except shade.

    As far as security, if they want it, they can get it.

    And if you knew how easy and maybe less expensive to bolt (or adheasive) a couple 3 panels on the roof, connect the controller to the battery, you wouldn't give portable another thought.
