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 for a woman travelling alone. What is your opinion? Do you just make sure to check places out thoroughly beforehand and make sure there is good cell phone service? Is it something you just get used to? I would love some advice from others who travel alone.

Hello, Here is a partial list of RV clubs, organizations that are designed for solo/women who would like to travel with fellow RVers:
1.Rvingwomen.org
2. women-traveling.com
3. roadtrecking.com
4. roamingrv.com
Every one has their own level of safety / security measures. I suggest you consider the following:
1. Travel with RV clubs/groups
2. boondocks in areas that you are very familiar with
3. Install a security light on your RV to replace your original (amazon). This light will stay off until you or an intruder gets within 10 to 15 feet of your RV, then it will automatically turn on a very bright flood light which will stay on for about 10 min. The light is angeled so you are not disturbing your neighbor.
4. I keep a large bear spray canister in my truck, 5th wheel, house and car.
5. I have Good Sam Emergency Road Side service so I don't get stranded.
