Safe for valuables
« on: February 20, 2015, 06:39:47 pm »
Considering installing a small bolt down safe under the left side bed in my 2552.  Any advice or suggestions?  Thanks, 2travel

I recommend this:  http://www.ftknox.com/product/personal-pistol-box-2/

The sentry type safes you see at the big box stores will only stop a snatch and go thief (assuming it is bolted down).  They are easily defeated.   I had one where the lock wouldn't unlock and it took me about 2 minutes to break in with a big screwdriver and I was trying not to damage it!  Fort Knox is perhaps the best name in consumer safes.

If you install a safe try to hide it or camouflage it somehow. I don't know what the record for rv's might show but in homes the bedroom is usually the first place thieves search. Under the bed has room  but it is an obvious place to look and the cheaper safes are easily broken into. Consider hiding your valuables where it wouldn't be logical to look or behind or in an object that people would not likely want to steal.
