Theft prevention



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.
