Trailer security

[Kris022]

For those of you that have trailers, what type of security measures do you take to keep the trailer where you left it. In May, I'll be going to a Toyota event with some offroading and won't be with the trailer foUr a couple hours, but it will be in the camping spot. So, what things do you use to prevent trailer thefts.

GPS tracking and a G40.

Heavy gauge cable with a sturdy padlock is what is keeping my trailer in my driveway, the cable is wound through the wheel's holes and around the axle and spring. A tongue lock is a good addition as well if you don't have a removable tongue. I think those two things do well enough to keep most thieves at bay.

Oh the wife and I will be armed, it’s when we leave the trailer behind that got me thinking. The trailer will be garaged when we are home. I’ll check out some cables and a tongue lock. GPS sounds like a good idea too. Thanks all.

There are other topics on this, I built my trailer with a removable tongue. I chain the wheels, use the gps tracker plant and the electrical cable is also removable, Ron

I take the hitch off.

Removable tongue hard to pull without one! And it's not in the way getting around the trailer in camp or when stored.

camping, I use a tongue lock, run a chain through the spokes of my rim around the axle & pad lock it. I wrap the safety chain around the tongue & secure it with a pad lock. These 2 pad locks are keyed the same.

storage, I have no worries. It parked in a big metal shop on my farm, out of sight & the weather.
