I have never stayed at a hotel when on riding trips. Either have a cabin or tent (never again by the way). Even though my stuff is insured I don't want to go through a claim and then be stranded without something to ride.

How do you guys/gals secure your sxss at the hotel when you are on a trip?

Thanks

I use this cable-lock by Schlage. 3/4 dia., 6 ft. long. Run it through my a-arm and wheel and then to the trailer. And like Gunny said trailer locked to truck, and lock-pin. Also I weld my trailer-ball to the hitch. Then as an added measure, I pull the fuel-pump fuse out of the truck overnight.

I do almost the same thing as Gunny only I use a rubber coated steel cable with a loop on each end for a big pad lock and lock the Rhino to the trailer with it. I used to use a chain but it was rather a pain in the butt. I doubt the cable is any stronger, it's just easier. I am of the opinion that if a determined thief wants to steal something, it's just dang tough to keep them from getting it. Most locks only stop honest folks?

....and if you decide to unhook, we park our "tow vehicle" in front of the tongue to make it a little harder for the criminals to get to it.... but we also try to park where we can look out the window and see em.

also if most of the group is leaving at the same time you could put trailer to trailer and even put a cable thru both trailers.
