Leaving camper unoccupied - help

Do you have a jumpit for jump starting cars? If not you should have one on board when RV'ing! :W

I used one of those with a small cheap plug in inverter and then plugged in a residential small table lamp.

Makes it look like someone is home 'inside' the RV and the battery jumpit will provide the power to that lamp for couple days. I also used CFL bulb in lamp less watts.

This combo is also priceless to have in case of an emergency.
I can watch a small TV all night with it too!

All the lights in the world won't fool anyone. No cars or people will be a give away that the RV is unoccupied. I'm sure yours won't be the only RV there that is unoccupied for three or four days. A thief will have plenty to choose from.

It would be left at a campground next to the lake. There are other people there, but if I can make it look like somebody is there, then I would feel a little more comfortible.

A timer on a couple interior lights may help. Can you set out some folding chairs, etc.?
If it's at a CG maybe management could check on it. If you're at a boondock site?

My feeling is that if you are leaving it out in a remote, unoccupied, unsupervised campground/location..you take your chances.

Lights aren't going to keep it safe from someone who wants to break in or tow it away.
Anyway, good luck and have a good trip.
