All, just bought a battery box for the CT, and it is to sit in the supplied tray at the rear left of the CT, just behind wheel arch. Its external. I can easily tie it to the CT battery tray using straps but I want to be able to lock it down securely (theft).

Are there any devices out there? A search didn't turn up anything obvious. Or maybe just a light chain & padlock?

In the past, we have up a hinged stainless steel strap with an over centre type clip that has a padlock hole, available from boat chandlers.

It was designed by the guys that made the camper, simple but rather effective.

Forgot to mention there is a small hinge on the bottom, it's a bit hard to see.Great set up how the strap just swings down and out of the way so we can access the battery to put the solar panel clips on.
