Is there any REASONABLY effective way to secure the portable unit? (The provided locking tab seems pretty flimsy, and would likely deter only an amateur. Any large hand cutter would go through that tab like butter I would think.

For the most part, rv parks are safe and loss like that is uncommon. But the truth is a thief will take what they want and if they feel they can, a chain or cable will only slow them up a bit. Having the external unit would easily allow you to remove the unit should it be doing its job and saving your trailer from damage ( or if it thinks there is a problem). You could then just use the supplied power and hope that no issue comes up with low/lack of power to your trailer. In all the years I full time traveled, I never lost anything from my rv site that I didn't leave and drive off and forget to pick up.
