Batteries Stolen...Now What?
Our 2 12 Volt batteries were stolen (off the tongue of our trailer which is parked next to our house) this week. I am very disappointed, but I need to move forward so I am trying to decide what to rep...

There are off-gassing issues. If you put them inside, they would need to be in a sealed compartment or battery box that is independently ventilated. Fastest and easiest fix would another pair of 12 volt batteries.
In addition to the straps, maybe you could add some chain and padlock. A bicycle cable lock, would only slow them down, just a bit. Best security would be to remove them when not in use.
I agree with pianotuna on installing AGMs inside. It is safe. I have never heard of any AGMs needing to be in a sealed/vented compartment in an RV.
I have had my AGMs inside under the dinette seat for 3 years with my TT. I switched to AGMs in Jan 2009.
