Bad things that happen on the road?

Greetings one and all,

I have read a large number of RV stories about the Motorhome Lifestyle with great enjoyment and interest. One thing that has surprised me is there is almost no mentions of bad things that happen on the road.

We know there are people out there who’s a taco short of a Fiesta platter. Those who think “gas guzzler, polluter, money bags, Richy-Rich and general Bozo”! They drive by this big beautiful 40’+ motorhome and some people think “wow how great is that, I’d sure love to have one of those”! While others are thinking “wow who do they think they are lets run em off the road and steal their stuff” !:)

• When you’re on the open road do people ever mess with you?
• When your parked getting groceries or at a stop light or fast food place. Are you ever bothered or find your coach being messed with?

I’m just curious because “stuff happens” and wonder if it happens very often to RVers?

We've had no issues so far and have traveled in our motorhome/s off and on for about 9 years. As noted, we are careful to watch our surroundings and try to be proactive in avoiding potential trouble spots. We both carry pepper spray and I keep a weapon in the coach and car.

We are most cautious in rest areas and try not to travel at night.

Haven't had any problems of that nature so far. Hope we never do.

I'm sure it happens. But, we have never had any problems.
Just paying attention to your surroundings can make a difference.
