Secure generator compartment door
Anyone know of manufacturers of more secure and solid compartment doors? I know I can change the lock on my generator compartment door to make it more secure. That's only part of the solution since ...

The Outfitter Apex 8 has a compartment in the rear that was designed to hold a Honda eu2000i generator. Well, I say "designed" loosely. As noted, it is no more secure than any other RV outside storage area. And as already mentioned, changing the CH751 lock is a minimal security enhancement.
You can get replacement locks with longer barrels for thicker doors, how about getting a piece of 1/8" aluminum, drilling out the correct diameter for the new lock and thickening the area on the inside. Then I would thicken/strengthen up the area where the latch flips over.
Or Whazoo has very good idea. Can't stop them from getting in the door but they are going to have a HECK of a time pulling the generator out.
Personally I am not worried about things getting stolen where I camp, but where I stop for fuel or groceries in town. It only takes seconds for a thief to go through most cables.
