My computer, running Lunascape for a browser started acting up. Uninstalled Lunascape and now am depending on IE. flikr wont let Me do anything with the out dated IE so I am unable to post pics. I did however get some real nice locks for the propane tanks and also for the spare tire on the camper. This is a locking device made for spare tires and will also work to lock the nut holding down the twin propane tanks with the bolt/all thread that is between the tanks. It is accomplished by removing the nut holding on the spar or the tanks, then this flat sort of a piece goes onto the rod then the nut is screwed back down and this sort of a tear drop shaped locking device is put on and then locked to the flat piece. It is a Master Lock part number 262AT. Here is the website for the locks. I got four of these for various trailer, from amazon for $6.34 each and free shipping with Prime. www.masterlock.com/personal-use/product/262DAT

Those both are good locking mechanisms.

I crafted my own locks. For the propane tanks I drilled a hole in the existing hardware. For the Battery I bent up a 1" metal strap...and a keyed alike master lock. Both very strong. Anything can be cut or stolen. This is just to slow them down a little.
