10 Top Tips for street parking and unguarded
stopovers
Theft prevention
1.
Park in a well lit area
–where parking is allowed for motorhomes. Darkness has always been a good
robbers’ ally.
2.
Before parking make sure
there are no restrictions for your vehicle type. Avoid unwanted surprises.
3.
Always park your vehicle in
the designated area, marked for parking.
4.
Lock your doors properly
–including when you are resting or sleeping-, check all windows and
compartments.
5.
If staying overnight, it is
advisable to stay in a stopover or approved site; a guarded place is always
recommended for long stays.
6.
Don’t leave valuables near
the windscreen or dashboard; avoid being a target for thieves.
7.
If you carry a bicycle or
motorbike on the rear of your motorhome, even when you are parked, make sure
they are properly secured.
8.
If your motorhome has an
attached rear ladder change it for a foldable one; thus it can removed when not
in use. Avoid making it easy to climb up your vehicle.
9.
Write down the address where
you are parked; in case of emergency, it will be much easier to call the
police, medical assistance, etc.
10. When travelling,
especially abroad, keep always a notebook with emergency numbers, consulates
and next of kin to be contacted. Also have photocopies of your passport or
identity card, in case of loss, it will help you a lot.
