Two years now full-timing,on the way down and on the way up we overnight at a Flying J,never once felt the need to be armed,read all the previous posts and see how many other seasoned full-timers have never needed to be armed,if your going to park your rig at some low-life bar or boon-dock in some ghetto and go looking for trouble you will find it but this thing we do doesn't bring my rig anywhere near anyplace that I need to worry about,we travel from gated rv resort to another gated rv resort! If some bandito stops me at a traffic light pointing a gun to my head and wants my truck and fiver I say take it then I'll call the cops then my insurance agent the and get a new truck and fiver.
