I was wondering if anyone with an open trailer had any advice to secure it during a stayover at a motel. My main concern is preventing amateurs from unhitching my trailer and hitching it on to their own rig and taking off in <30 seconds. I'm not so much concerned about the pros, since if those guys want your stuff they'll get it. I know of coupler locks and wheel locks as options. On the more expensive side there are gps boxes. Anyone have feedback/personal experience with any of these?
I take everything valuable into the motel room with me (suit, helmet, steering wheel etc).
I've heard its a good idea to throw a tarp in the back of the truck over any gear as a noise deterrent and cover everything up from prying eyes.
Oh and also to check trailer hitch/chains/brakes on every stop which you might be away from the vehicle.
