  • Leave the radio on just loud enough for someone listening close to the door to hear
  • Discontinue or suspend your newspaper subscription
  • Ask neighbors to pick up any pieces of paper solicitation that come to your door
  • Encourage neighbors to park their cars in your driveway
  • Hire someone to mow your lawn
  • Put your sprinkler system on a timer

2.  Alarm Security System notes:

  • Install an alarm system on your RV and at your home – test this burglar alarm system periodically to make sure that it activates only when it should to avoid false alarms
  • Make sure you have a plan for how alarms will be responded to in your absence

3.  Other smart security measures that you can take on your RV and home:

  • Install good locks on the RV door, your house door, gates, and windows
  • Have neighbors at both the RV park/RV campground/State or National Park and/or home keep an eye out for anything suspicious
  • If a burglar does get into your home or RV, minimize the losses by keeping valuables in many different places, to make it time consuming and difficult to leave with your things.

RV Alarm System – Canine Influenced

bark alarmHave you ever heard someone say a big dog is all of the RV security that you need? Well, maybe this person was correct. Check out this RV alarm system that truly barks like a real dog. The Watch Dog Alarm plugs into your wall with no installation and produces a realistic sounding German Shepard bark when someone approaches the RV. Fairly small and compact, the RV alarm system can see through walls, glass, and doors up to 30 feet away. The closer the person gets, the more frequent the barking becomes.
