When I belonged to the group: Outbackers.com someone posted a pic of a keystone outback that that been broken into by at least one bear.

I have googled around tonight and found some reports of campers broken into. I got more hits with travel trailer then camper or rv.

Examples:

Last August we camped at the WMA in the Ocala National Forest. We always look for bear sign as we drive in ...they love to claw the electric poles etc. We also saw sign on the trails where we compete in 3d traditional archery. Track, scat, logs turned over for grubs etc.
We saw more sign then usual...we slept in out TM and never heard a thing...and we have a very quiet generator. I cooked the first night..we had no problem...the next night...more people had been on site longer...Not only did families cook but their were outdoor food vendors with dining areas at the WMA that served 3 meals a day. We had left the forest to go to a fish house. I was amazed at the mess the bears made throughout the camping areas of the WMA...this includes the bunks houses too.

We never heard a thing that night. We were fine...and had no problem. Now I wonder about not hearing anything...
