It's not a question of losing the land. It's a question of whether you are entitled to a homestead exemption. Most states do not recognize a camper as the basis for a homestead. Check your state law to see what it allows for homestead and for state exemption and if you have a choice of federal or state exemptions. Then the problemn is how much the land is worth vs. how much the exemption is.

It may affect whether you want to reaffirm the mortgages or not. Bankruptcy law specifically allows states to require their exemptions.
