SAFETY WHILE TRAVELLING ALONE
Hello All, I am new here. In the future I would like to live and travel full time in my truck camper. At least for a few years after I retire, maybe forever : ) My question is about personal safety...

I've been following about a half dozen blogs of solo women full timers (as I hope to do the same myself), and I have yet to read one instance of using a weapon or even having to jump in the driver's seat and skedaddle.
I, too, believe you are at least as safe on the road as you are at home going about your regular daily life, and probably much safer.
As someone who has lived, camped and traveled solo for years - YES!
Sheesh from some of these comments, you'd think it was the middle ages and women were being kidnapped on the old Roman roads.
Common sense, realism, and paying attention to your surroundings are the best weapons you can have.
Totally agree!!
We know many women ... and men traveling alone. There is no big issue and some of the mentioned fears and remedies are not necessary.
Wasp spray? Hope it's not a windy day for you!
Just use common sense where you park. That's all you have to think about.
Here's a great group: http://www.rvingwomen.org/ There are other groups out there. Google for them.
It's a very common thing in the full-timing world. It's not something to be afraid of.
