The Front of the front shell is outside, in the weather, during travel - do you mean that you mounted it on the fixed TM vertical panel behind the lowered shell, and underneath the bed when opened up? Or do you mean that you're on the inside of the moving shell?

If you are concerned about losing your batteries while in a storage lot, I had a chain locked around my battery. Granted, bolt cutters will cut chain easily, but if you are not at a public storage yard, I wouldn't worry about battery theft. Just me, though
I'm not worried, now that I've decided to stay with cheap batteries. At the beginning of the Thread, I was thinking about an upgrade to very expensive batteries.
