Trailer Alarm

Anyone here have a trailer alarm? If so what did you use or do?
My plan is to use a standard brand alarm with motion sensors. Tie in mag switches to the doors, run 2 horns (1 inside, 1 outside), wire into the lights of the trailer, add a 340 LED red/blue magnetic light (has patterns when flashing). Tie the starter kill to the electronic brake. Add a small car battery and recharged by a 100 Watt solar panel. Finally add a separate GPS tracker.

Nonelectrical upgrades with be specialized locks which cant be cut (easily) and a wheel lock (think parking boot).

In a few months we will be traveling cross country and I want to secure a few things in an enclosed 6 X 10 trailer. I have heard of too many cases where trailers are broken into, or out right stolen. I just want to avoid that head ache. Figure I can get away with everything for around 400-500 bucks if I do all the labor. What do you think?
