I guess I have been fortunate in that I have not had issues up to this point. I am sure that anything is possible, but I wouldn't let it slow us down from traveling.

Been at it since the mid 70s, never had anything stolen, but have been approched, maybe twice in a rest area by people needing gas money or claimed to be broke down. There are too many other things to worry about worse than this.

Frankly, I'm a lot more scared of encountering someone that thinks that the whole world beyond their driveway is populated with "the scum of the earth" than I am of just about anything else I can think of including Death itself.
If that's what you think of the folks you're likely to encounter, namely ME, please stay home in your bunker.

Never had an issue in all my years of camping or rving at a rest area or anywhere else.

I don't recall that I said that everyone beyond my driveway is the scum of the earth.......Have you not heard about crack heads and druggies that are always looking for something they can sell. I hope you are not calling yourself the scum of the earth........unless you are the one that would be ripping everybody off..... I wanted some real output from RVer's that have been on the road so I can learn from them...

We never had an issue on the road, but at some camping sites we had a cooler stolen, chairs taken etc.
People walking through sites always annoys the******out me, I have see and asked someone to leave our campsite...he felt it was ok to sit at our picnic table and open the cooler and help himself to a couple of cold drinks while watching the water.

One night around midnight we stopped at a Wal Mart for DW and DD to run in and pick up a few things. I stayed in the MH with the kids and thought I would take a little nap while they were shopping. About the time I dozed off, here they come back in and all excited.
While shopping my daughter noticed a guy pull a gun out. They ran out and within a minute there were cops coming from all directions.
Don't think anything happened as they walked out with the guy a few minutes later.
Wife and daughter then decided that they didn't need to spend any money anyway. I was OK with that and we hit the road again.
