You didn't say if you wanted to protect what was in the trailer or
just detect if it was moved.

Here's something that's a little elaborate but it would make it easy
to use if you just want to detect if the trailer was moved.

Set up a photo electric eye outside. Park the trailer between the
transmitter and receiver. Program the panel with an open circuit auto
bypass zone. When the trailer is there and you arm the system, it will
detect if it's moved. If you arm the system and the trailer isn't
there, the system will auto bypass the zone. If the panel is
partitionable, you may want to put the trailer zone on it's own
partition. If the panel has an auto rearm feature you could probably
use that too. The down side is that you have to run wires out to the
PE's. Depends on how much the trailer is worth to determine how much
you want to put into protecting it.

If you want to protect the contents of the trailer ...... that's a
whole different big can of worms.
