Camper Security

Hey everyone, curious to see how you guys are securing your campers

I will be living full time in my rig , splitting my time between nature and the city. I am looking for a secure place to park with a hookup to electric/water on the days i work but until i find something i like, i may be parking in random spots around NYC and im slightly concerned about that.

I feel like this vehicle is going to be attracting a lot of attention

Would appreciate some guidance on how to keep my vehicle safe and secure both while im inside sleeping and while im away from it working

thanks!

    WHAT?
    When you can put strong latch and padlock on cardboard box - it will not make it secure.
    In my area we do have lot of burglaries done by small thief seeking opportunity.
    Those people will run away once they spot camera door bell.
    On my property I have Kuna light/camera. It will turn audio greetings and lights at any movements and start recording to WI-FI cloud.
    When the recording is not much useful as neighbors experience, once thief realize he/she has been spotted - they aboard.
    Old remedy is put worn size 13 shoes next to the door.
    With cordless grinder any chain is 20 seconds detour.

    I have been waiting on this guy to update his install but he went with PacLock locks for his Bigfoot TC. Same issue as you having to deal with the crackheads looking for easy money.
