What caravan security would you recommend?

I'm just about to pick up a fairly modern caravan after having a 15 year old one for a while.

 

I think I'm probably a bit lax on security at the moment as I don't think anyone would pinch my current one.  I have an Alko hitch lock, though I've lost the metal ball thing which goes up inside so not sure if it's actually any use or not?  Can't find any
spare balls online.

apart from that I have a really cheap (£15) wheel lock which is more of a visual deterrent I guess.

the van is normally kept somewhere secure.  Storage compound is behind two sets of locked gates which are always locked.  You're not even allowed to leave the gates unlocked if you were just dropping something off for two mins.  CCTV, lights, a moat round
the back and sides of the compound and the owner who lives onsite.

i mainly use club sites but may occassionally use CLs I guess.

should I get a better wheel lock?  It would have to be easy to put on.  I was looking at the Purpleline Nemesis but at £100 is pricey.  Or does anyone know of anywhere which sells the spare balls for hitch locks?

thanks.
