At the park I still don't lock it. There are enough people around that if someone starts taking TV's out of campers it is going to get noticed and the police called quickly.
Boondocking as we do, there are no neighbors around....And a call for police (IF there is cell coverage) will take hours not minutes.... One must be self reliant and able to handle the situation.
A lock on the door that does a reasonable job is the first thing.. If one is sleeping inside, and a bad guy tries to get in... It SHOULD slow him down and make some noise... We had a incident by Flagstaff some years back, where an elderly couple was killed by a couple of prison escapees that entered their TT... It CAN happen.
Yes, I should have added that I camp in areas where there are people around and the police are only a few minutes away.
