Where do you hide your money?
Where is a good hiding place for money, passports, etc. in the RV?

- I keep mine in my wallet. :)
- Ok I'll tell you. Its under the steps next to the step motor. It is covered in dirt etc so no one can find it.
I have to take a hose and wash it off good, on my back and a little silicon spray on the joints, otherwise no one can get to it. - Surprised nobody has mentioned a hiding place on the roof taped under the vent covers.... I've said too much.
- BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
seriously? - My wife dosent allow me to have "money" :)
- I like to have two locations. One is a strongbox, which is intended for papers, prescription medications, external USB hard drives, and if big enough, the laptop itself. The goal is to resist a smash and grab. As of now, I use a metal box that uses a steel cables looped through the backseat, but I eventually want to get a "Dorm Safe" from Dean Safe in my next rig which is a lot better.
The second location is someplace out of the way, mainly intended for spare keys. I don't like diversion safes, since it is likely those would get chucked out, or forgotten. There is always the Hitch Safe which is a small compartment which goes into the tow hitch and has a cap on it. This is good enough to stash a small key or two. This way, the chance of winding up locked out of one's rig is minimized.
Then, there is the safe that gets put into use if going for a long trip where one's wallet and keys are not needed. Attach the Mesa MHK1 Travel Hitch Safe to the tow hitch with a decent locking hitch pin, toss ones stuff into that, call it done. It won't ward off someone going at it with power tools, but it will keep one's keys and such safe while hiking. Jim Shoe wrote:
Finally, turn a radio on. Thieves can't be sure there isn't somebody still inside and they could be armed.
We always turn the radio on when leaving...it distracts the dog so he isn't busy worrying about the noises he hears outside. The ambient noise won't help you if you try to steal his bacon bites.- I'm not worried about any cash I would have. I'm always worried about our two laptops, tablet, and such.
