You are correct. However in SC, there is no need to unload and lock. A loaded handgun in the glovebox is legal there.
It is time for you to get a Florida permit.

Trip to FL Keys
My wife and I are leaving for the FL Keys with our travel trailer in a few weeks. We would like to take our pistols with us. We both have unrestricted permits for NY and PA. So I think we are good for all states except Maryland & SC. We are planning on locking them up in a lock box when we go through those states. As for FL it looks like we only need a permit to carry concealed. We are not planning on carrying in FL, just would like to have them while we are in our travel trailer. From what I have read it looks like we are good to go or I'm I reading it wrong? Or should I just skip the pistols and bring my shot gun?

It take it you are going 81s to 77s. Otherwise you have Jersey and DC to contend with which will mean unloaded and locked.
This is correct. However, just like SC, in Florida it is not a crime to possess a loaded firearm in a glove box or console without a permit.I believe that Florida only recognizes PA permits for PA residents, not non resident PApermits.
