Security
Hi all, soon to begin full timing and have a few questions. I bought a safe to keep important papers in minus the acc #'s cause I plan to leave a key taped to it. That way they won't have to steal it ...

Won't really matter if you secure a Sentry safe... can be opened with a large screwdriver... "slightly" more secure than the deadbolt on the door to your coach... they are made for fire and water protection.
Why not just digitize all your papers and use the cloud storage you have already set up? Scan and leave the originals with your niece.
OK I'm in an accident can barely talk and need medical care. If I don't have my medical card I may not receive proper care if any at all. Medical card has SS # on it.
It won't help you if it's in a safe either.
Insurance cards, etc., should be on your person with your ID. Make an electronic copy for safekeeping (give a thumb drive with the images to your niece).
For documents that are important but not needed very often (passport, birth cert, ss card, etc.), keep an electronic copy on a thumb drive and send the originals to your niece or put them in a safe deposit box that she can access in case of an emergency.
For fires, the safest place for your insurance cards is on your person. If you get out, so do the cards. If you don't, then the cards aren't needed.
If you're taping the key to the safe, you've defeated the entire purpose of a locking safe. In that case, why not look for a fire safe case that doesn't lock? You might find something better rated for fire survival.
