Most private campgrounds have a storage lot and you can leave the RV in storage for a monthly fee. The storage fee will be much less than renting a camp site.

I don't mean to sound odd, but have you camped before? The first thing I usually do after setting up is to introduce myself to the immediate neighbors.

If you will be gone for more than a couple weeks, consider a storage yard as it's a good deal cheaper.

Our neighbors, who we hardly knew, stowed our outdoor furniture and even put up our awning while we were away! They saved us real money! Campers helping campers - almost always happens! We remember that and have paid it forward several times ourselves.

Oh that's such a good point. It does seem strange, but we've been afraid to get to know "neighbors" just in case they would know when we would be gone and put our rig at risk. After your comment, though, maybe we're looking at this all wrong? Perhaps we need an attitude shift! Perhaps we'll enjoy the experience much better if we knew there were people helping look out for our site while we were gone. Great perspective!

Oh that's good to know. If you tell the office that you are leaving, is this usually a benefit rather than a hindrance? Meaning that if someone knows you're gone, you're more likely to have break in? I know this sounds callous, and "big-city" mentality, I guess I'm just trying to calm some nerves.
I would rather inform the office staff upfront.
Then they know that at times your rv will not be occupied and then if some emergency should arise they have a better clue as to who is/isn't on site.
I would also leave office staff with a good 24 hr. contact number in case something should happen and they need to contact you.
We FT'd for 7 yrs. and the first thing I always did after setting up was to go and introduce ourselves to neighbors.
'Neighbors' feel invested and will look out for each other better than strangers next door.
