Hi all
It’s my first post and after reading hours of interesting and informative threads I am ready for my first post.
I – like quite a few on Fun will be heading down to southern Spain this winter and I am wondering how you go on with security within your vans.
I would worry about the contents (passport, credit cards, cash, and other easily pinch able valuables) while you are away from your van. Do you use a safe, a hiding place or do you carry everything of value on your person while out for the day.
I ask because a few weeks ago I was talking to a fellow motorhome owner whose van was broken into while he was out and he said that his van was totally trashed – there was nowhere that he could have hid anything that wouldn’t have been found.
Now it’s bad enough if this happens in the UK but if it happens while you’re abroad it must be a nightmare.
Generally we just take bare essentials while travelling in the UK but if you’re spending a few months in Europe you need substantially more stuff.
