Another possibility might be to ship them overseas.

We spent about a week at this Transwest location in Sept of 2015 while waiting repairs. I can see how this could have happen. IMO, the security was lax. Lots of in and out traffic.

I think that if they were stealing one for a meth lab it would be a less conspicuous RV that could just be stashed in the woods. I'd guess that they immediately crossed the border to the South. bumpy

I would think that shipping oversees would be somewhat difficult too. A co-worker mention perhaps parting out... never heard of an RV chop-shop.

You might be surprised how easy they would be to unload. Years ago, in another profession, I once picked up and returned an out-of-state prisoner who was part of a ring that stole large, high-dollar farm equipment. On the trip back I asked how the heck one unloads a large tractor or combine. He said it was easy when you offer a very expensive item at a fraction of its actual value to someone who has the cash to pay for it no questions asked. "They know it's stolen, they just don't care when they can get it so cheap."
