Well, I have my TT in storage in between weekends and yesterday I stopped by to drop off a number of items we just bought at CW for our next trip this weekend and to my surprise I found a few closets open, the refrigerator doors that we left open were closed tight and the fuse panel door was open!. I checked the locks and they didn't looked tampered with and the doors were locked when I arrived. I also leave a 2.5 gallon jug of water in the bathtub in case I needc to use the facitlities while there or need to make some coffee what have you and there seemed to be some missing. I'm thinking either someone is sleeping in ti at night or maybe thge heat build up caused a number items to expand and created movement as well as the water evaporating. I wonder if anyone else has experienced thnis stuff before?

Sounds strange to me too. It is pretty common knowledge that RV keys/locks are not the most secure in the industry. Plus most folks have master keys...repair facilities, etc.Here is a simple trick to see if your doors are being opened by someone other than you....take a small piece of scotch tape and put it in a location (top of the door) which wouldn't be easily noticed. The tape should be placed over the seal.If the tape is broken or disturbed, someone is getting in. If it stays secure, and you still see changes inside the rig, you need a ghostbuster.

Does your TT door have a deadbolt (with key) in addition to the regular lock? If so, use it. The regular door locks are not individual to each trailer, so anyone with a key to another TT of same make could get in that way. Deadbolt locks areindividual to each trailer, however. At least, that's what our dealer told us. Whenever we left our TT there for service, he asked us to unlock the deadbolts but leave the other locks locked, since he had a master key & could get in if need be. Another possibility is that someone is pretty good at picking locks. :(

Did you check that the levers are locked in place on the windows?One could have been not locked and anyone can open those windows from the outside go in and then close them back up from the outside.I know there's been a couple of times I have closed the windows prior to leaving so when I got ready to leave I closed and locked the ones already opened and forgot to check the lock lever on the ones that were already closed. Just a thought.

That's creepy. Hope you get it figured out.
