Where do you hide your money?

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

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.

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

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.

I have 2 antique motorhomes. I don't have any money left to hide.

Me thinks that most campers on here are now officially STIR CRAZY ! ! Or have cabin fever..

That's funny. The use of RV and money in the same sentence. 🙂

What little money we still have, we keep in a locked box in an otherwise out of the way hidey hole.

I carry our cash in my wallet ... it's a credit card. With it's 5% points return on fuel, it's 3% points return on groceries, and it's 1% points return on everything else, I am earning part of the next RV trip's expenses with every trip we go on.

Too late - we already found it, but there was only $2.31 there. You owe us $0.02.

[down_home]

I so want to reply but I'll be danged if anyone else knows where we hide the extra $2.33.

[starcraft69]

Right along side my S&W on my hip

I spread mine around, a dollar here, a dollar there, pretty soon it's all hid.

We always carry from $200 to even $1000 each and several Credit cards on our persons. Most of the time the higher amounts are in an under our outer clothes nylon money belt around our waist. Can't be seen and easy to get to and only us knows it's there. In my wallet or her purse is usually under $200 and one credit card each when in or going to a suspect area. We have cash with us for any thing we want to buy that doesn't accept Credit cards. Never had any problems even it foreign countries or 3rd world countries. Having U.S. currency talks big as every vendor will bargin/barter much better when paying with greenbacks.

Ordered nearly all our RV's with a steel fireproof safe bolted directly to the frame secured with hardened tack welded carriage thru bolts up with the nuts inside the safe. Some, I'd mounted myself. In a fire with an RV, the floor near a corner away from propane lines etc remains the coolest area and an area so easy to keep even cooler by spraying water on it. Heat rises!

That is easy. In my coin case of course.. (Who has the folding kind?)

I don't carry more than a hundred or so cash, and mostly use a debit card.

If I do have extra cash, It goes to my ex wife (and not by choice!):(
