What do you do for RV Security?

We took the camper up north to our summer site and it will be there a few weeks at a time in between other trips. My site is not part of a large or what I would call secure campground. Do you use ball locks? Chain your wheels? I have aluminum rims so I was thinking they may be target also. Batteries can walk too I suppose. I do have access to WiFi and was thinking of an outdoor WiFi cam that I can log into from home. That or a game camera. Just looking to hear what everyone here does or has had experience with. Its a lot of money to park and drive away from at times. Thanks.

Ball Lock?
Wheel Lock?
Hitch Lock?
Remove your wheels?
GPS Logger?
WiFi Camera
Game Camera

We left our camper on BLM land for 2 weeks with 5 days away from it. We used a hitch lock and cable locked our generator to the bumper. We knew we were taking a risk but were in a bind and needed to do this. We had no trouble at all.
Two things, at the end of the day locks are simply a deterrent. If someone wants it bad enough they will get it! And the second is have insurance incase it does get damaged/stolen. This helped ease our concern for sure.

I bought one of these to put inside my trailer while at the storage lot.



Amazon.com: Mini Alarm Motion Detector and Remote Control with 10,000 possible codes: Home Improvement

It is cheap, and give me a slight peace of mind. I figure that if some punk is going to break in for the TV's, this might scare them off. It works pretty good and runs on batteries for about a month without changing.

I also have a hitch lock.

I figure these things will keep a honest person honest, but if someone really wanted something, that they could get it with what ever I have installed.

Anyone use a GPS tracker or WiFi camera to remotely view / record?
