Ready 4 full timing, but theft has me worried the most!

Sold my TT and looking for class A. But wasn’t full timing. Even then the few times we drove off with trailer behind, I was nothing but stress! One of the issues is I am one of these guys that brings my world with me. It’s just who I am so don’t bother telling me to make it simple. I bring all my guns, knives, I’m an avid outdoorsman and I just have lots of high-value stuff. Hiking gear, I mean you name it, I pretty much have it.

Not even mentioning how worried I was just leaving my Honda generators out just to go get something to eat. It was a big hassle. Load the generators up into the back of the truck and take them with me for fear of...

That’s one of the main reasons I want a class A. Knowing everything is intergal and I can take my tow vehicle off to get something to eat without worrying about doing something with my generators outside. I just can’t help but feel, I could be totally wrong, that a class A is simply more secure and less chance of somebody breaking in it then they would a travel trailer.

This is when I was going to parks with other people around! Now we planning on traveling full-time and going Boondocking and I’m specifically looking for a toy hauler so I can bring along my Honda Pioneer 1000 with me.

I just don’t know how the community does it? How do you go park somewhere remote, take off on your UTV and ride on trails all day or go hiking all day knowing you have your LIFE behind you in a travel trailer or my truck or anything somewhere by itself?

This is the ONE thing I can’t wrap my brain around. How does everybody do this? I read all the stories about how people go hiking and drive trails. Isn’t everyone worried they’re going to come back to a shell with everything ripped off and stolen!!!!

I need help with this because my constant fears of theft will stop me from enjoying my life and will alway keep me close to my mobile home :(

  • agree with all the post. buy a good security system from a watch dog company, might not stop a crook but you,ll have some piece of mine some body is watching 24/7
  • If it's any help, consider that crime closely follows population density, high density ie; city, high crime, low density, lower crime.
    It's not 100% accurate, but in general it's the norm.

    The greater the number of people in an area, the greater the chance of a miscreant being there.

    I understand your concern, I've lived in enough cities to have had to deal with the problems, but now I have had 8 years in the middle of nowhere, and I find I'm much more relaxed than I was in the past.
  • We're all a little concerned about things being stolen, that's normal.
    Your concern seems to be controlling your life.
    This is not meant as an insult but, have you considered counseling?
    It may help..
  • My first thought after reading your post - Your LIFE is not behind you in a travel trailer. Your material things that are holding you back from enjoying and experiencing your LIFE are behind you in a travel trailer.

    I agree that there is a potential for theft but that is true even in a sticks and bricks house.
