We were being watched (scary encounter living in my camper van) - RV LIFE

We were being watched and it was a scary encounter living in my camper van. (RV Life) After a long day of driving we found a place where we could sleep overnight. It happened to be next to an abandoned amusement parking in a casino parking lot. We had a very disturbing encounter with someone in that parking lot and were being watched by several people, but it was what happened next that scared us the most.

You were NOT overreacting. It was the right thing to move. I'm glad you're both safe. ❤

My wife and I have a 44ft Class A and have traveled all over the country. We try to stay at campgrounds, but have stayed at some truck stops and a few parking lots. We've had 2 instances where thugs decided to mess with us. We have 4 cameras around the rv and solar motion lights that will shine 50 feet out. You can't come close to us without being lit up. One night a couple of idiots thought they might try to break in our door. We have the usual rv lock, two deadbolts, and a bar inside that prevents the door from opening. So they were trying to pull on the handle and I pointed my shotgun at them through the window in the upper part of the door. I then asked who wanted to go to hell first? They ran to their car and took off. We then moved to another place for the night in case they came back. We are both trained in firearms and have 3 handguns with us as well as our shotgun. When we are on the road driving, all of the guns are locked up in a safe in our master bedroom closer. Even the shotgun. I then have our Byrna non-lethal gun in the console next to me. The second incident happened when we were in Colorado and stopped at a rest stop and some drugged out freak came up to us and demanded that we give him our money. I pulled the Byrna from my holster and asked him to lay down. He complied. My wife called 911 and a Deputy arrived in 10 minutes. If he had started to get up, I would have shot him with the teargas projectiles I had loaded. He would then have complied. The Deputy had run into this guy before and hauled him off to jail. He asked if we were okay and I assured him we were just fine. My travel security plan is simple. Stay at populated locations, keep our heads on a swivel, assume many people are assholes, always carry and always trust our training.

They definitely wanted your bikes. They probably would of broken in too. If you guys havent yet, get security camera for front, back, and side of your van. Keep yourself protected at ALL times. People are very brazen today. Prayers for safety always!

[slowrunner]

The reason they bring another vehicle is the trap you between them and wait for guard to go on break. You did the right thing.

[jake]

When they ask, "What are you doing??" .... Answer: "I'm Cleaning ONE of my Guns!"

[karene]

The first thing they teach in self defense classes is trust your gut. I'm so glad you got out of there. (Great security guard though).

[deborahboudreaux]

That’s why it’s great to have access to a cab without having to go outside to drive away!

[robinmiller]

A friend of mine had the same creepy experiences so he put a spotlight on the roof which beams a 50’ laser and would light up the the whole area when strangers came by. It works very well and instantly alerts people to your area so that the strangers are seen by all. Cheers

[lawannalw]

You two were not overreacting. That gut feeling was for a good reason. It's much better to be safe than sorry.

[BlueFlameGoddess]

You guys did the right thing! I'm ex-military and you guys were definately being cased by them. Creepy ASF!

[sharisimmons]

Follow your instincts! No need to live in fear, but you should still be wise. God gives us wisdom.😊 Glad you’re safe.

[sburns]

As a retired emergency planner, always listen to your gut. You were not overreacting and did what any intelligent persons would do. Its called survival and even watching what you both went through breaks my heart and I was so worried, I became nauseous. I’m glad you both left as it could have been much worse to stay

[Berrypancakes]

You were not over reacting. They were up to something. I think they wanted to snatch the bikes. Or maybe rob your van with you guys inside.

[Marie-wdhp]

You were not over reacting. It is good you move to a place where you felt comfortable especially at night.

[patm]

Being safe is your number one priority, your postings of actual events helps others understand the true ins and outs of true RV life.

[djahant]

You are not being paranoid. I would consider covering your bikes. I would have left as well. Good job! Always follow your gut, always.

[chulita]

My anxiety was triggered, so glad you guys left.

[spunky]

I was the accounting manager over all of Primm Valley, Whiskey Pete’s, the gas station, lotto store and 2 golf courses from 95-2005. You just gave me a walk into my past. Love your content but this is the boom in kaboom for me. Thank you.

[pamdekeyser]

Its not Safe anymore to live in a rv or Camper! The Country has changed and none of us are as safe as we were! Its Smart that you are Vigilant! Stay safe and God Bless!❤
