Spare keys…. When out and about abroad I’ve always kept the spare keys in the safe, inside the van. oh: It wasn’t until I came across a couple with a MH who had her bag snatched which contained keys/cards etc. Without going in to detail they had to call a local locksmith (this is in Spain mind you) to gain access to the MH, he did this by eventually breaking the cab passenger side window
So, after this episode I put myself in their situation and thought, how I would get into my van with the keys (ignition and habitation door) locked inside the van, inside the safe oh:oh:. Couldn’t do it without breaking a lock, window, or roof vent. Answer, simple, the hab key is now safely and discreetly hidden elsewhere on the exterior of vehicle with ignition key locked in safe.:thumb:
Yes I know I should have done this from day one but it is not a subject you would want to discuss on an open forum for obvious reasons, it was only when the situation was brought to my attention that I realised I’d got it wrong. Food for thought.
By the way, before you ask, the safe is on top of the dashboard next to the sat nav, laptop and smart phone
