Leave TT Unhitched?

[SpeakEasy]

I've never had the opportunity to camp (boondock) on BLM land. We have an upcoming trip to Utah, and will be interested in doing some BLM camping. My question is for those who RV in travel trailers or 5th wheels. Is it safe to unhitch and leave the rig while you go exploring the area? I'm not talking about just hiking around in the area you're camped in, but actually leaving in your tow vehicle and driving around. With no established campground and no one keeping an eye on things, do other people respect your stuff?

Thanks in advance,

Get a hitch lock!

I use an old hitch ball with the bolt cut off and a padlock on the locking tab.

Nothing is theft proof but it will slow them down.

Yes, people will 'respect' your stuff.....and then take it! You don't have to worry about the honest folks, just the others.
