Even though I've heard of one or two horror stories, I've never really done much to lock up my camper and hitch.  Rarely ever even locked the camper door at the campground when away.  With the N2U popup, I purchased a lock set with matching keys. $27

Do you lock things up at the campground or at home?

I lock the hitch at both. I lock the latch down so i cant just be set on a ball, i lock the door at home collapsed, but not while camping. Locking it camping only keeps honest people out.

I lock everything, camping or at home.

We lock everything up.  WHen leaving the campsite, I even close the curtains.  I know its just a deterant, but most thieves will avoid anything that isn't easy.

Lets just say I'm very trusting......who the hell wants to steal a 25yo RV?  I have full coverage on it anyway so maybe it will become a blessing in disguise if anything does happen.

I lock my little hitch extension/carrier thing (the 2' by about 6' add-on that enables us to take coolers and such) and the bikes.  If someone wants to take the PUP, well, I feel sorry for them because it needs a lot of work and they would probably abandon it after they see what kind of shape it's in (not to mention they would need a crank, because we always keep that in the Durango). 

We chain the bikes (heavy-duty metal chain) to the Sixnall top-of-PUP carrier - hopefully we would hear a thief before they could make off with anything.
