Where do you hide your 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.

Get one of these.....



Money safe

My wife dosent allow me to have "money" :)

BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
seriously?

Surprised nobody has mentioned a hiding place on the roof taped under the vent covers.... I've said too much.

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.

I keep mine in my wallet. :)

There is an access panel just below my shower door that is held in place by 4 phillips screws. Simple to remove and about a square foot of dead space for important stuff that I don't want to leave in a box under the couch or in the laundry hamper. Seldom have to access it but easy to access when needed. BTW: The Canadian Border inspectors had no problem locating it and getting a chuckle out of it.

Come to think of it why would you pay for a shower if you have a camper with a shower in it?

... to minimize filling up of the grey tank whenever you're camped in a hot and sweaty campground with only electric and water hookups but also with pay showers - like the campground at the Herkimer Diamond mines we stayed at last fall. You gotta be ready and willing for any situation! :)

My stash is just some quarters in the kitchen to do laundry or use a pay shower.
So if you are a bit short on quarters and need to get cleaned up... just ask.

They make you pay for showers in some places ? :R Oh for heavens sake.

Vermont state parks, for example, all have pay showers (excepting a couple that have no showers). I think it's mainly to keep day use people from overrunning the campground showers. The fee is pretty reasonable.

While I use the shower in my RV when the campground showers are pay showers, I can understand why some people, at least with my particular RV, would choose to pay a dollar or so. One poster here once described their shower as having room for themselves or the water, but not both at the same time. I think mine may be the same basic shower design. Nevertheless, I would prefer to have a tiny phone booth shower and a decently sized kitchen with actual counters and cabinet space than vice-versa.
