Feel Safe in Your Home on Wheels
Fear of break-ins is a common concern. While Europe is generally safe, it's wise to use caution and secure your vehicle properly.
1. Mechanical Security
- Door Locks: Additional deadbolts for cab and rear doors.
- Steering Wheel Lock: A classic visual deterrent.
2. Electronics
- GPS Tracker: Real-time location monitoring via your smartphone.
- Gas Alarm: Detects narcotic gases and carbon monoxide.
3. Good Habits
- Hide Valuables: Keep laptops and wallets out of sight.
- Plan Secure Stops: Use Travel Planer to budget for secure parking. When looking for safe daytime spots, consult Travel Rules to find well-maintained parks and recreation areas.
4. Emergency Prep
Keep cloud copies of your documents. You can also export your travel logs from Travel Planer as a PDF for insurance purposes.
