Question Wall safe option

[Kevin D Pem]

ours came with the safe, its small and does not look fire proof, we do not use it, we have a portable safe as others have mentioned.

In the thread on snake awareness, I was asked for a picture of my boots. Well you may have seen more than I planned to display. But because I did this gives me opportunity to tell you why I have a safe. I have one for my rounds. There are items that hold value, and others that may hold a life in the balance.

Just saying, if you have a safe you can find something worthy of it's protection !

So far the only thing I have put in the safe has been my side arm. I would not order one and pay the premium either but for some reason everyone that I have given a tour of our new coach to thought it had 'cool' factor.
Like just about any security feature, the safe will only serve to slow up a thief but will not do much to guarantee security.

My thought is a "portable" safe in the basement somewhere. My purpose is to safe guard important documents from the risk of loss from fire/water.
Most safes that might be considered for this purpose are only a slight deterrent to a skilled thief. The casual thief usually does more damage than any value locked in the safe, at least in my world.

I have a fire safe for that reason. They recommend a location where it can't drop very far. Seems integrity is lost in a fire so it is important it won't drop very far. Basement sounds like it may fulfill that requirement.

Has anyone considered duplicates so a fire in one place would not be as traumatic???

I am a little late to the fourm because of traveling, but this is what happen to us. We purchased our coach used with a safe, but never used it. Just before we left I locked it with the key to see how it worked, the key is still stuck in the lock. We had to call the manufacturer to get a default code to open the door. Will never close the door again.

Ours came with the wall safe…..waste of money IMHO.

I would agree! But, I sleep with the door open. How does that sit with most people?

Yikes, I barely eat lunch with doirs unlocked. Grew up in the hood, bike chained and covered.

Fear paralyzes! Look at it this way if you die of lead poisoning, you at least die holy.

Not fear just caution.

T'were me, I think I'd put a motion activated camera in the safe, and find a hidden, unobtrusive cubbyhole for the valuables.

Just tossin' out an idea.....Roger
