LET THERE BE LIGHT ASSIST SECURITY WITH LIGHTING ON YOUR LOT
GOING HOME As we pack up to leave the resort for our off-season destinations, a few items should be considered to ensure the safety and security of our lots and RVs that will remain during the summer. Ensure that your RV is locked, including all compartments. Turn off your propane at the bottles and shut off the water. Check that all appliances are turned off or unplugged; this is especially important for an absorption type RV refrigerator but a good idea for other typical appliances. Check that the batteries in your smoke detectors and CO2 detectors are good (they should be changed each season) Ensure that the resort has your current contact information. Verify that the circuit breaker that powers your lot number post is on and that the light is functional. It is a requirement that your lot number be illuminated during the dark hours of the day, finding/identifying lots in the dark is very difficult if the numbers are not lit. It is also recommended that any motion activated security lights or palm tree lights be left on during the off-season. The light that these devices provide is an aid to our nighttime security patrols. Have a safe summer.
Lighted lot numbers (an HOA re-
quirement) , spotlights on palm trees, and rope lights on tree trunks and paths provide a reasonable amount of light around the Resort. They are as much for security as for decoration. Leaving these items on when you leave the Resort (even for the summer), is cheap insurance against theft and is a real asset to our Security Officers . Please do not turn off your 15-amp circuit breaker when you leave the resort, as the lot number light is connected to this breaker. It is strongly suggested that WALL LOT OWNERS install a motion-activated security light on the back of their rig. They are available under $40 at Costco or most home improvement stores, and can be an effective deterrent to an intruder. REMEMBER, “BAD GUYS” hate light! For any information or further discussion on the subject, contact a member of the Safety and Security Committee.
