Planning how to spend retirement usually involves finding activities you enjoy and traveling to new places with good weather. Protecting yourself and your belongings isn’t typically at the top of the list of considerations. But when you stay in a rental property, whether for a month or the winter, you want to know that you and your belongings are safe. When you own a property, you can put features in that help make you feel secure. You may not be able to do the same modifications to an RV as you would at home. However, there are still plenty of ways to safeguard an RV rental in Arizona.

Choose a safe community.

When it comes to peace of mind during your retirement travels, the importance of finding a safe community can’t be overstated. No one wants to worry about their belongings while away from home. But end up in an unsecured or unpopulated RV community, and it may be hard to shake the feeling that something bad might happen.

A safe RV rental in Arizona is fenced in with an attended gatehouse, like at Lost Dutchman RV Resort. A gated community ensures no unknown persons will be wandering around the property looking for unlocked RVs to enter. You get true peace of mind knowing that the people in your community are residents who have been through the same application process as you.

Get to know your neighbors.

One of the great parts about staying in a 55+ retirement community is how easy it is to meet and connect with your neighbors. At home, you may feel isolated from young couples and busy families. But in an RV resort, you’re surrounded by fellow retirees. Your neighbors can quickly become your friends.

When you know all your neighbors, they’ll keep an eye on your RV when you’re away. They’ll be fast to notify you (and park staff) if something seems amiss, whether because of a maintenance issue or suspicious activity.

Install a video doorbell.

Modern technology makes it easy to keep an eye on home from your smartphone. You can install a battery-operated video doorbell on the exterior of your RV with double-sided tape, so it’s easy to remove when your rental lease ends.

Video doorbells can be programmed to send motion-activated alerts. You get an improved sense of security, and you can also see when friends and neighbors stop by while you’re out.

Use the locks on both doors and windows.

If safeguarding your RV rental in Arizona is a priority, remembering to use the locks on doors and windows can give you increased peace of mind.

Something as simple as making sure windows and doors are locked before you leave home can deter nefarious individuals from breaking into your rental. Keeping everything locked in a gated community with no foot traffic from the surrounding city is going the extra mile to safeguard your home.
