Leaving your rig while boondocking

Campground thefts are far more common than in the boonies -- thieves go toward the low hanging fruit, not to where the pickings are slim!

And even then, it depends on where the campground is. We were in rural Oregon once, and we were locking our generator to the trailer tongue. Someone walked by and said, "I can't see your license plate, but I will bet you are from California!" (Where I live, anything not locked will take a walk.)

Once in a while, if we are boondocking near a city, we will lock the hitch with one of those gorilla attachments.

Bottom line -- after hundreds of days of boondocking, we have never lost anything.

lock it close the curtains , I do like the idea of a trail camara . it,ll at least tell you if some bodies been around . other wise if they want in nothing is going to stop them . but you,ll pic,s for the insurance company.

Heat in one hand, cell phone in the other. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. As far as protecting the equipment while gone, I have a nifty lil sign that reads "There is nothing in here worth your life" If nothing else, it provokes some thought.
Seriously though, Life's too short to worry about
"What if ??" and that undue stress will take years off of it. Life is good, now go out there and get you some.

Well, bottom line is if someone wants your stuff (or if they just want to mess it up), there is not really anything you can do to stop them.

That said, most petty theft is a crime of opportunity and you can go a long way by making things difficult for someone so that hopefully they will keep on moving down the trail/road

I have a security bar that I can put across the door and lock with a padlock. Makes a good visual deterrent. I also have 3M security film on the windows (except for the windshield), and a 'club' to lock the steering wheel.

Of course, I also will throw anything loose (chairs, etc) inside.

Finally, I also have a game camera - if I'm concerned about an area I'll put the camera up looking at the vehicle/campsite. That way if somebody messes with it I will at least have an idea of who they were and what they were doing.
