 I never locked my door with the gas fridge in place at campgrounds  or race tracks.    I would rather get robbed than burn due to the door being locked. 
 Now that we have  Resi fridge the door gets locked more often.
 BTW  , I used to repo cars and the dogs were always on guard  for the delinquent car  . I always stopped by Mcy Ds for  a single with cheese, no pickle.  for any dogs .  I would approach  in a calm manner carrying the burger and a baseball bat. The dog always took the burger  and I got the car.  Unless the dog is very well trained, the burger will get  results.

A determined thief will get your stuff no matter what you do. Best solution is to make it difficult. Most of our expensive things are too heavy for a casual thief (think generators, or even our 8D batteries). At least on our coach, nothing else is all that valuable.

My biggest security problem is a utility bay door that doesn't want to open without great effort. Yes, it is unlocked. The handle turns, but it doesn't want to unlatch at one end. Not THAT would frustrate a thief.

Well f we are going to use recordings, think I will make one up with me racking the slide on my ( legal ) short barreled shotgun. Can't think of anyone who does not recognize that sound. Always have it, I think of it as my campground pacifier. Along with our permitted pistols pretty well covered. Agree with the rest. Make it as tough as you can and maybe the bad guys go to an easier target. The main thing is you have to pay attention to what's going on around you. If you wander around looking at your cell phone you become prey for the hunters.
