I fulltime and use a fireproof file box sized safe. I keep my important papers there. I figure if my RV burns down, it will be ashes long before the fire rating of the safe is exceeded. And it's heavy, so I won't be carrying it out with me. Besides my goal would be to grab my "bug out bag" as I head out of the RV. I also have one in my car. Extra clothes and a blanket in a couple of those travel space bags, copies of med scripts (not the actual medication as I just need to go to a pharmacy where it's all on file anyway),reading glasses, tiny first aid kit and a bit of cash to buy things like my meds, plus a few other things. I figure I can always sleep in my car anyway. Bug out bag are like first aid kits, they need to be personalized and you need more than one. If you are carrying cash, the government will replace burned money only if enough survived so that the denomination can be identified and the 51% threshold is met. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/consumerawareness/a/replacemoney.htm
