Just looking around and saw this one. I expect now that I'm almost done restoring mine we'll get some of this. I would think you could just wipe off dry erase off a polished trailer...
Maybe an open / closed sign in the window to the right of the door? I hear if you reverse the ground when hooking up your panel, you can electrify the skin - then folks would only knock once...
I like the do not disturb - maybe with an area below where you can write in: Visitors welcome between 2-4pm?

Putting out a "Do Not Disturb" Sign
Viagra Field Test in Progress sign? It'd make me come back later....

I will always see if the owners are outside and not looking occupied with more important things than some gawker wanting to take a peek.
On the other hand, what if you had a rig that you knew would be the center of attraction for the whole park?
One day a mid '50s Greyhound Bus, polished stainless with perfectly done blanked windows, rolled into a site. The Campground host had seen this creation before and notified everyone the rig would be open for tours between 2 and 4 PM.
It truly was a site to behold. Knotty pine throughout, modern diesel and drivetrain with everthing a current MOHO has standard.

I like the Baby Sleeping. If anyone asks where the baby is later, just say that after all these years, your honey-pie still calls you baby!

Lol. We've had people ask us for a trailer tour at rest areas and even fruit stands along side the highway. When we are camped I tell them my wife is napping but the best thing I've come up with is to tell them sure, c'mon on in. But I should tell you my mother died last week in Spokane, were bringing here body back to Springfield Mo and decided to do some sightseeing on the way back since well probably never be up n this area again. She's lying on the couch, just ignore her. Then I tell them , just joking. Lol. No more trailer tours!

Or you could leave a sign on the door like a family friend did at his camp when he was gone. "Don't go inside, no matter what you hear. Uncle Ralph is at it again, have gone for help."

I just can't imagine this being a frequent thing. Outside of an Airstream Rally where sightseers are common and encouraged I think only one time did we have anybody ask to see our trailer and that was at a roadside lunch stop. So in our case it just ain't happening enough to become a nuisance.

We don't really mind, but it usually happens at least once a day while we're camping.

Earlier this month, we were at Lake Yellowstone Park in WI. The sites are deep and wooded, so that we set up chairs at the rear of the trailer. It was near dusk, and I was changing into evening attire inside when I remembered that I hadn't moved the bicycles under the awning in case of rain. So, I just stepped outside in my underwear and moved the bikes. I couldn't help but notice what a pleasant evening it was, and the bats were flying around, so I just sat down in a chair to watch. Becky joined me and we were just sitting there for a minute when-
"Hi- is that a Bambi? Always wanted one - can we take a look inside?" said the woman, accompanied by her spouse. I remained seated while Becky conducted the tour - I'm afraid I might have come across as a bit brusque.
