Oh that's good to know. If you tell the office that you are leaving, is this usually a benefit rather than a hindrance? Meaning that if someone knows you're gone, you're more likely to have break in? I know this sounds callous, and "big-city" mentality, I guess I'm just trying to calm some nerves.
I would rather inform the office staff upfront.
Then they know that at times your rv will not be occupied and then if some emergency should arise they have a better clue as to who is/isn't on site.
I would also leave office staff with a good 24 hr. contact number in case something should happen and they need to contact you.
We FT'd for 7 yrs. and the first thing I always did after setting up was to go and introduce ourselves to neighbors.
'Neighbors' feel invested and will look out for each other better than strangers next door.
IMO this is all EXCELLENT ADVICE and any CG that has a problem with that is one that I would definitely PASS ON and find one more to my liking. We used to stay at a KOA about 60 miles outside of Chicago when visiting DW's MOM and were normally gone ALL DAY and we always let the management know this and left a good number to contact us is the need every arose. Some days we left before the office opened and got back after they closed.
