I think they are very safe and there are always other RV's parked generally in one area.

A gun is a problem, we carry a 12 Ga but a 410 shotgun will work as well, just can't cross over to Canada with it.

I agree, we towed a 31' Airstream for 6 years, and last 3 drive a motorhome, should have made the switch years ago.
