Where is a good hiding place for money, passports, etc. in the RV?
I see your 'screen name' is LuckyUs. If that's so, why do you have to hide it? You seem to be lucky so no one is going to take it. :)
As full-timers we had no need to hide money either. We each kept $100 or less on ourselves and it lasted for many months. We always use a credit card for everything and pay it off completely each month - no interest, so it's just like using cash. Our credit card also gives us cash back for using it which is a free gift. It's so easy not to have to bother with cash. Even McDonalds takes credit cards.
As far as a 'fireproof' safe, they aren't - really. Friends were involved in a fire and their safe was in the bedroom. It was supposed to be fireproof but RV fires get very hot. They had nothing but ashes left.
We just kept a 'to go' case behind the chair by the front door with our passport, etc. It was easy to grab to take with us if needed. I guess we never worried about theft. Really, how many folks that you know have been robbed in their RV? We also boondocked way out in the middle of nowhere. Never had any cause for concern.
