First thing to remember is that there's virtually nothing that you can do to stop a determined thief. People find a way to steal full on mobile homes from trailer parks. Some of them have no tires and sit on a concrete foundation. The good news is that trailer thefts aren't all that common. Thieves seem to be mostly interested in your belongings as they're much easier to offload than a whole trailer.

I'd focus more on making sure your belongings are secure as they are a bigger target. Keep your entry and compartment doors locked and keep your belongings out sight when not in use. Bigger ticket items like generators should be secured at all times.
