Ray and Tom probably have the easiest solution. I had twin B series Cummins on my boat, they were both manual engines - no ECM and it would have been easy to install a hidden fuel solenoid shutoff switch. With later model engines it might be different though.
I really wouldn't worry though, not likely the coach will get stolen if you take normal precautions. If you're really worried install a steering wheel lock.

Both and all sets of batteries are Disabled.
The booster switch is rendered useless..

Find the wire to the Allison transmission computer and put a switch on that.
No power no start.

It will prevent a neutral runaway, so perhaps both would be best.

Just my two cents. A thief will spend time and tools to enter the vehicle, more time and tools starting the vehicle, they may loose interest if they need to find or enter a third lock. I know for a fact my coach wouldn’t make it up the driveway with the spring brakes on. Just a cheap deterrent plus other safety advantages. A lock out switch should be on every vehicle but we all know finding the time to install such a network of parts will never come.
There are good quality alarm systems that can be added that will provide a start lockout and can track the vehicle if towed, but typically over $1,300 installed.

Find the wire going to the starter solenoid trigger wire and put a toggle switch in between, mount the switch in a convenient secret spot. I did this on a few of the classic cars I owned, very easy to do.
