disadvantage of having MoHo parked in driveway.

Next time you plan a vacation, just put a for sale sign on the windshield a week before you leave...
Then when the wrong person sees it gone they think it was sold and you are still there... lol

so, install motion sensors on all outside lights, send the family somewhere in the motorhome, turn all the interior lights out, then sit and wait.
You will soon find out if it was a one time occurrence, and therefore not worthy of worry, or a regular thing that you need to be concerned about.

I found out that when you stop delivery of the newspaper it does the same thing. The police caught our paper delivery man prowling around our house at 3:00AM.
We now have video surveillance that records cameras all around the house and that we can check online where ever we are when we travel. No monthly cost and it does provide some peace of mind.

Hmmmmmmm, we have our MH on the side of our house on a pad. I never thought about what could happen when it's gone.

We have great neighbors that know when we are out on a trip of sorts. I also have security camera's mounted on the outside of the house with night vision.

I guess we live in an older established neighborhood, as they call it. We are getting renters over the past few years. Maybe I should be more concerned. I don't want to move because we have been here 30+ years and the house is paid for.

The OP brought up a GOOD POINT. Maybe we should all give the issue some serious thought.

Clean out your garage and park your car inside and lock the garage. I some times just hitch up and go for a ride or bring the camper to works. Although we live in the country it still confuses our nearby neighbors what we are doing.

I live in a non gated 55 and over subdivision, and a lot of the homeowners are snowbirds too, with RV pads next to their homes as well. The RV gone from my house pales in comparison to the obvious unoccupied home because NOTHING is left outside and the weeds are getting out of control. I have outdoor cameras on my home, and motion detector's, W/security monitoring sign. Not much you can do beyond that, the best protection is a good insurance policy, and good neighbors, as quite a few of the homes are empty during the summer. Anything valuable and important travels with us. That would be the only disadvantage to me, as I love being able to access my RV at anytime, and it's ready to go.

All ya gotta do is shoot one of the invaders and the word will get out..... ;-)

Sorry, but ya gotta find the humor in everything else you'll go mad!

From day one of owning an RV we have always stored it at a storage lot.

In addition, at our home, we have security cameras, alarm system (will call our cellphone), signs, ask neighbors to keep an eye out for newspapers/flyers, random lights inside and dusk to dawn lights outside for security when we are gone.

Around our neighborhood, most everyone knows if the MH is gone, so are we. Therefore, with only one route our of the area, anyone going on around our house means free target shooting for all the neighbors. And they will shoot, first, ande then call the law to pick up the bodies. And I will do the same for them when they vacation. Local law patrols the neighborhood several times day and night, Postman and Paper deliveries have our phone numbers. Lawn care checks everything whenever he comes by. Best defense is good neighbors!
