Yep, they would waste a lot of time on that lock, but with a cut-off wheel they can just cut the handle or the rivet in 15 seconds and get right in. You are on the right track, it's all about making it inconvenient for them, but if they are determined they will get in. The weaker link is the hitch lock, if they can cut that off easily, they can tow it away and then take their time getting in.

Thankfully most tweakers cant tow your trailer away with their Schwinn!

Mine stay in the trailer year round I live in Southern Indiana and we see temps in the upper 90's quite often. I have a couple of vents and a DC fan on a thermostat that runs off the onboard battery. The battery stays hooked to the charge controller all the time. My trailer stays parked in the drive and plugged into ac when its home. I've not had trailer internal temps exceed 105 deg. yet. I have not noticed any damages to planes or equipment yet. However I do bring my transmitters into the house during extreem temps either hot or cold.

Flip side is... if they really want in their gonna do damage to the trailer, and if they really really want in... they're going to regardless of locks.

I have one of those on my trailer and love it!

This will keep it secure from being towed away! Between this and the high security padlocks, thieves will look for easier targets!

Has anyone tried that pvc pipe like that before ? I have used it for couple years.

Yup. I have too. I'm debating on going that route in my new trailer. A good friend of mine turned me on to the PVC a few years ago. He used PVC couplings, just not regular PVC pipe.

I'm considering using a type of doughnut for wheel chalks, that I could drive an ATV or golf cart over, and not have to worry about the PVC breaking or bending wood screws.

Actually there is no tongue lock that will keep a trailer from being towed away. A motivated thief will just back up wrap your saftey chains around his bumper tie them off with a bolt raise your jack and drive off. The best solution is a wheel lock or chain trailer to a post. Then they at least have to cut the chain first.
