Seasonal RV Security?

I'm looking at purchasing a piece or property in a manufactured home park and using it to store/use my 5th wheel, and maybe someday a larger Destination Trailer. The spot I'm currently looking at is located in a vacation-ish town on the Oregon Coast and is just your basic coastal town of 10 thousand people or so. Lots of "opportunistic" crime but I think a little deterring goes a long way.

I realize the town and local crime statistics are the best source of information but am also wondering if/what people do when leaving trailers for long periods.

I just have all sorts of thoughts and questions swirling around in my head:

Obviously, make friends with neighbors and bribe them nicely with apple pies, bottles of Jack Daniels or whatever else they like, to keep an eye on my place.

Security system, lights, cameras?

Realistically, there's nothing of much value in the trailer when I'm not there other than the trailer and that's insured. So, do I really do anything?

Signs and cameras threatening security and surveillance?

I'd love to hear past experiences and what all you wise folks do/have done in that past.
