50 AMP Cable Security

[Timothy]

Is anyone aware of a device that can be used to secure your 50 AMP power cable to prevent theft? Specifically, I have several scenarios:

1) You have to use a 50 AMP extension cable with your main cable. Is there a lock or some other device that can secure the connection between the two cables?

2) Is there a device that can secure the connection between the cable and the pedestal or the cable and the connector on the side of the travel trailer?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Specifically something like https://www.amazon.com/Technology-Re...-436299632305?

Other than that I would say find a hasp lock that fits over the main body of the cable that you can secure to something else like the frame or leaf springs. On the leaf end either pass through the end of itself or lock the eye to the body (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K02R9NS..._search_pt_sub) then the free end hasp to the cord using a lock that will not pass over the moulded end connectors.

Remember a good lock is a honest man deterrent but only a delay to a thief. Cable cutters will not protect anything from copper thieves.

A little search and I found these,

I would guess that you could use 2 locks and a short piece of chain for the extension cord connection. I guess anyone that really wants the copper from the cord would just cut the cord and take it without the ends, hopefully they turn the power off first. I am not sure if campgrounds let you lock the power panel shut or not. If you were the only one using it I guess it would be ok maybe.
