trailer battery security

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas about how to secure my batteries on my toyhauler. I have limited space between the front of the trailer and the propane tanks. I was thinking I might be able to fit a saddle toolbox in there but it would be tight. Then I thought about making some sort of cage out of flat metal that locks with a padlock. The place where I store it is pretty secure, but I just want extra saftey without having to pull the batts. out after every trip. I you guys have some pics that would be great!! Thanks.

I think that is the easiest and most cheap way too do it, I will probably go that route.
