buy a utility van, the ones like a bread company uses for delivery's with the welder exhaust piped outside, also make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm inside, it keeps everything locked up and dry when it rains. had one years ago, if I ever have another rig, it would be another van.
I have insurance that covers theft of any of my "STUFF" on my rig.

you should be able to set the intensity or sensitivity of your alarm so that slight vibration on the bed causes the alarm to go off.
I would look into a system that has motion detector. You could also look into wiring something such as a pressure switch into the system so that if someone were to lift the leads or tanks the alarm would go off. The downside with making the alarm very sensitive is that if it's windy, raining or loud vehicles drive by it can set off the alarm.
