I use one of those large fold down dollies which makes it fast and easy to load valuables and put inside.the room including seats...
Next best thing I have found is to leave my wife in the boat all night. She will scare away anything that gets within 10 ft. How ugly is she you ask??? When we get to the lake everyone asks what bait I was using>>>>Okay, okay>>>just kidding...don't get upset ladies....she has actually never been in my boat....hates the water and fishing.
However, I have found that using one of the better Wi-Fi Baby Monitors with audio under the boat tarp that Detects Movement in and around the boat is a great way to get a good nights sleep. Mine saved me from losing trailer tires and wheels one night...
Like I said, remove everything and sleep with one eye open...

I fished Champion Creek last weekend. There is a Super 8 in Colorado city. I was able to park the boat right outside my door and directly in front of my window. They even had a power hook up. It was around $63.00 per night and was money well spent in my opinion. They had external cameras looking at the area in front of the rooms as well. I did my typical locking of compartments, took the rods I had out inside, plugged the chargers in, and went to bed.


google search "boat security bar". The are some good ones, or you can make your own fairly inexpensively.
