Seneca - door lock

Just nocited our Seneca only has one lock on the mid door entry.
All of our other camping setups (class A and toyhauler) have had a latch lock and a deadbolt on the door.

Is anyone adding any additional locks or anything else on the inside or are these secure enough with what they have to not worry about it ?

That one lock does both...extends the deadbolt and locks the latch. Yes this does make it so it is one failure point, but honestly, most crooks know how much easier the basement doors are to get into and go for those instead.

I thought I would like to put on an additional lock, possibly even just a surface-mount slidebolt inside to use when in motion to absolutely guarantee the door could not open.

The roadblock I ran into quickly is the limited space through the screen door's sliding access panel. Not much extra room left accessible around the regular latch to mount and operate any other locking device.
