wouldbetraveller Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 InaPickle - 2019-05-28 10:48 AM It’s common place in Spain to carry wasp nest killer spray. Apparently it projects to a range of 3 to 5 meters causing temporary blindness with no permanent damage! Trouble is in a panic you may end up spraying yourself! We had an intruder on the roof of a property in Spain, the best thing to do is shout and scream. I made loads of noise and neighbours came to my assistance, I’m sure it would be the same when you are travelling as long as you stay where there are other Motorhomes. We would always try and help someone if they needed us. Good luck and enjoy your travels. Andrea Thanks Andrea - yes I intend to park near others as there is definitely safety in numbers. good idea about the wasp spray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldbetraveller Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Billggski - 2019-05-28 9:22 AM The generic safety precautions are all effective if visible to a prospective thief so that they move onto an easier target. The safety precautions for a lone female are more specific, and there are several lone traveller sites with advice from experience rather than speculation. https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegleybloom/2018/07/24/best-trips-and-tips-for-female-solo-travel/#50b96838294e The main thing is not to be paranoid but sensible about sites and security. Good luck and enjoy the freedom. really appreciate the link - these women are amazing! thanks billggski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldbetraveller Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 ColinM50 - 2019-05-28 8:28 AM Re cab door security, saw a chap when we were in France and he had a B&Q cheapy chain that he looped between the internal door handles/armrests and then padlocked together when on board. That's two out of three doors secured and then the Fiamma hab door handle lock for the other one would finish the job properly. I guess he's locking the hab door from outside then climb on board via either of the cab doors and chain himself in? https://www.leisureoutlet.com/security-handles/caravan-and-motorhome-security/caravans-and-motorhomes/10048-fiamma-security-46-security-handle--white?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0paYs9m94gIVop3tCh1M9wyBEAQYAyABEgJke_D_BwE Not a scenario I'd be happy with but each to their own Also there's this from Milenco http://www.milenco.com/products/security/recreational-vehicle-door-locks/security-door-lock Thanks Colin - I had looked previously at Milenco security devices as they seem a lot cheaper than the deadlocks. I'm not so keen on the big white handle from fiamma though. it would have to be a red every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmorris Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It's my understanding that reports of gassing have now been largely discredited. IT's just that people sleep through a lot more noise than they think they do! As others have said - Take reasonable precautions, but get paranoid. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
