Since my neighbors and I have installed cameras on our block we have less foot traffic on the street. I installed duel bright outdoor lights, they stay on low until they detect motion then go to bright. Almost nothing will prevent determined thieves but most thefts are crimes of opportunity.
Where in WI?
Yeah, never understood the camera deal. I'm not a burglar, but If I was, I'd have a hood, glasses and a stick on beard...mic drop!

To me its a multipronged approach that is needed.

* Video is helpful to see what's going if you are home but unless you get a good system the helpfulness when you're away is minimized.
* Insurance, get a good coverage and pay for it. If you want ask your agent to visit and see if what you've done gets any discounts.
Yes.
A fence with a gate will work as long as the gate is closed and locked to keep out curious people. I don't understand why you just can't put a gate on the fence to get your RV in and out of the storage area ?
Lighting is good, but if too much of it is on all the time people will just get used to it and ignore it. Motion sensor lighting and a alarm that sounds when people get to close will scare off most common thieves.
Video is OK so that you can check it and see that it's just your neighbor looking for his dog. Or,,, your neighbors kid that needs some discipline . But, in a actual theft by a professional it will not help the police much.
Insurance it good. But, be careful, insurgence companies will figure out a way to get out of paying you if they can. Find a agent that you trust and keep all of your insurance with him/her. I've had the same insurance man for 35 years. I have lunch with him once and awhile. I trust him to work with me and not against me.

I would be interested in knowing if there are any statistics that show how many property crimes are solved with the aid of security footage. Obviously photos help in major crimes where there is media exposure, but I wonder if those dark, grainy videos ever solve a common burglary like the OP is trying to prevent. Placing visible cameras might dissuade some thieves, but their visible nature make them easy to disable and avoid. Hidden cameras might film the crime, but won't have a deterrence effect. I think a better investment than cameras would be security lighting.
Investment in good equipment not the junk sold at big box stores.
Recently helped install a state of the art Panasonic system, with 6-8mp nightvision cameras. Dark and grainy is a thing of the past. Of course this was a public safety application not loss prevention.

I know in my few experiences with theft the police just gave me website to email a list of the items stolen and they would give me a police report number to give to my insurance company.

I really don't understand the question, probably, but sounds to me like a perimeter fence with one or more gates.

Enblethen has a good point, a trail cam or a set of wireless cameras with a cloud storage account.
