I camped throughout the high Sierras for the past 30 years on and off. I always try to hang my food if I am in a known area where bears WILL come in the camp like Huntington Lake or Lake Thomas Edison. Its just depends on your luck. Once we were at Huntington Lake, I purposely left a ham and cheese sandwich at the entrance of our camp site to try to scare the girls. We must have been in college at the time and my friend had a dog with him so the bear alarm (dog) will go off way before the bear will reach our tents. No bear so I go to bed after 3am. By 4-4:30, we heard this bam, the car alarm goes off in the distance. Someone must have been drunk and hit a park car. Early morning, we go out for a walk to the general store near the dock for eggs. The people showed us the claw marks on the side of his pick up truck. Bear ripped the tonneau cover off to get at the ice chest. Don't you have an RV? It should be fine inside.
