I think the issue of crooks knowing when you're home or not, would only pertain to crooks on your own street. After 34 years in law enforcement, I can tell you it's a non issue. Someone casing a neighborhood isn't going to know if an RV is suppose to be there or not. We also live in a neighborhood where are neighbors all watch out for each other.
I try to keep a balance of storing my coach at home, maintaining a nice front yard and not make my neighbors look at my RV. I often do house repairs for the neighbors who aren't handy and often THEY don't even know when we're gone because the coach is pretty well hidden, unless you look closely.
Glad that works for you, but most home buyers are going to either just walk away or mentally subtract the cost of removing that structure from the value of the actual home. Compared to the rest of the home, the yard, the drive and the neighbors home, it is by far the most unattractive feature visible in the photo.
