Alante hood latch locks

Has anyone with an Alante coach come up with a solution for locking the front hood? The non locking latches expose a lot of important items to theft and all my fluid fills to possible sabotage. I cable locked my battery in to make it harder to steal, but still feel pretty exposed.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That's an interesting idea, never worried about it to tell the truth. Been RV'ing a long time and never had anyone mess with the coach, even while boondocking in the desert.

My last RV was ravaged in my driveway 7 years ago. Stole everything that wasn't bolted down. So I worry.

Possible locking latches?

I like the idea of locking the hood too.

I don’t know if these match, but search for C233213 on amazon.
We’re on the road for the rest of the month so I can’t order one to see if it fits.
Thought you might want to check them out.

Thanks, it's looks similar. I will check it out. I've looked and looked on Amazon and never came up with this.
I appreciate it. Have a safe trip.
