Where do you hang your lil wooden sign?

You know, the one with your name or maybe a saying of some type.. I got one for Xmas, when I got to the TT, I realized it wouldn't hang correctly on the front. So off to wally world for a wrought iron shepards hook. It works, and I can place it anywhere I like. Where and how do you display yours?

Since we attended a RVing seminar that also covered RV security , we don't display anything about us outside. They said, " Not that it happens often, but why give a possible robber your name(s), to draw you out of your RV".

Or a thief to go google your name and state and maye burglarize your home. I like the signs, they look great but I choose not to utilize one. Due to my occupation I am a bit more leary of the unscrupulous than most.

We hang ours from a couple hooks added to the propane cover. I think it helps to start conversations with our camping neighbors and make new friends.

At home we know all of our neighbors and we all tend to look out for one another. I think the same philosophy works as well in the campground.

The front lip of the pin box works well. As stated above, we have protective neighbors all around us at home, and every one is armed and watchful. We also have a County Sheriff's Dept that makes routine checks of our rural properties for anything or anyone unusual. Crime against property is almost non-existent around our place.

I took an old round bar type realty sign we had and cut/bent it on the work bench into shape then hit it with black paint. Looks just like whatever you would buy and hangs our sign perfectly. Even made it so it has the foot stepper thingie on it. As far as home burgulary..not worried a bit. The company I'm with deals with strictly high end alarm/access control systems for clients with $$$ to spend. My house, lets just say is "well secured" Mr.T ( <---always wanted to use this one)

Dependent on our site, we stick our metal rod sign holder in the ground or hang the sign from the pinbox- JMHO- DD

We understand security reasons, but feel we are cautious and savey enough to be OK. We frequent the same local campgrounds and our house is not empty when we leave. To each his own I guess. I made a PVC post that I secure with tent pegs as shown in the picture.

X2 on the PVC lamp post. I anchored mine in a small flower pot filled with concrete. Light enough to move around easily but heavy enough to hold our sign in pretty gusty winds.

We use two Sheppard's hooks for ours, do not display it all the time, only at Rallys and special events.

Only has our 1st Name on our sign.

Not worried about security at our S&B home as we do not have one.

I detect a little paranoia setting in on this thread. I think you get typically the same info whenever you meet your CG neighbor(s) so why the big fuss over the signs? Hi, I'm Xxxx Xxxxx and we're from Xxxxxx.

We hang ours on the CG site number sign or on a branch on the closest tree. We also have a big " stick in the ground" sun flower , given to us by a four yr old grandson which has a spot to hang our sign. Larry
