New to the RV world. Help a newbie.

Unfortunately it seems you haven't been convinced that these are recreational vehicles intended for intermittent recreational use, not full time living.

To clarify a couple of things. Due to circumstances completely out of my control I've been financially gutted. I'm selling my home, which I can no longer afford, and with the one time lump cash payout, I've bought the RV. I've also signed up with Thousand Trails and will buy the lifetime membership.

I can't afford an apartment. I'm in no position to sign up to another mortgage. So it's either living in an RV with no mortgage or sleeping in my Xterra.

I didn't ask for this. It's the cards that life has currently dealt me.

Give yourself a pat on the back, at least you're doing something to better your life.
The remote locks are gaining market share as RV builders tend to use them more. Possibly a good product, I don't have one. What I do have is a steel strap across the entry door and a padlock, used when I'm away from trailer for any appreciable time. It won't eliminate a B&E but will slow down any big items that need to come through a door opening.
One of the best theft deterrents is a set of good neighbors. Maybe your new campground will have folks that like to keep a watch on things. Hopefully.

Good luck on the new domicile!
