If you look at the circumstances this was a crime of opportunity. These guys simply went through a neighborhood looking for unlocked doors and when they found one they took advantage of it. Matter of fact, according to the footage they continued looking after hitting the trailer. More often than not that is how these things happen. There is no casing of the neighborhood or satellite imagery telling them the RV was there and being prepped for a trip. Not saying that doesn't ever happen just saying that most of the time it is not the case.
If you ever stand out on a suburban sidewalk after midnight you might likely hear the tell tale sounds of this behavior. Go up to your car door and quickly flip the handle and listen to the sound it makes. Now if you ever hear that sound echoing repeatedly when it is very quiet outside, that is more than likely someone or a group walking through and popping the handles. When the noise stops they either left or found an easy target. They move quickly and grab whatever is convenient. These things do tend to happen in clusters. Not always the case but also not unusual to find that if suddenly there are numerous thefts in a neighborhood there is also some sort of drug activity near by. Often it is someone selling within the neighborhood which brings with it the traffic of those who need to pay for their drugs. Many if not most drug dealers will fence stolen merchandise for drugs.
