The question is "what do you want to secure against?" Describe the threat and then go from there. What are you securing? Is it meth-head or teenager? Or is it person determined to get in while making your insurance grill you over "did you lock it?"
In the case of a trailer, you do some combination of...
- Receiver pin lock similar to the one highlighted here (but probably not that exact one)
- Wheel lock / boot
- Receiver coupler lock (locks inside the cup-shaped receiver, preventing somebody towing the trailer with an undersized ball)
- Secured storage lot / garage
But, basically all options are only going to stop random opportunistic thieves. If somebody really wants whatever you're protecting, they'll find a way. That's why insurance exists.
Just clicked around after watching the vid and stumbled onto [0]. So there are locks he recommends... When it requires focus + several minutes to pick.
