Campervan Safety and Security
Campervanners often ask us here at LHK Group about safety and security and we are happy to advise because it goes hand in hand with insurance.
Campervans and motorhomes are a great way to explore the outdoors and travel with the comforts of home.
However, it’s important to remember that safety and security should be a top priority when traveling in a campervan or motorhome.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Plan your route and destination:
Before hitting the road, plan your route and destination. Do you need to book your parking pitch in
advance at your destination? www.motorhomeparkinglocations.com can direct you to lots of
campervan sites across Ireland, and further afield. Another popular Irish site is
www.campingireland.ie/parks.
Lock all doors and windows:
When you park your campervan, make sure all doors and windows are locked. This will help prevent
any unauthorised access to your vehicle.
Install a security system:
Consider installing a security system in your campervan or motorhome. This could include an alarm
system or a GPS tracking device. These systems can help deter thieves and provide you with peace of
mind while traveling.
Keep valuables out of sight:
Keep valuables out of sight when parked or camping. This includes items such as laptops, cameras,
and other electronics. If possible, store these items in a hidden location in your campervan.
Practice fire safety:
Make sure your campervan or motorhome is equipped with fire extinguishers and smoke detectors
and check them regularly. Avoid using flammable materials inside the vehicle and never leave
cooking appliances unattended.
Stay informed about weather conditions:
Check weather reports regularly and be prepared for changes in conditions. Keep emergency
supplies on hand, such as extra blankets, food, and water.
Safety and security should be a top priority when traveling in a campervan. By following these tips,
you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. Happy travels!
