AL-KO Offers Advice for Female Campers Traveling Alone

On the technology side, there are a lot of solutions to protect against burglary and theft on the market. To help you whittle down the options, consider your destination as well as what feels sensible to you.

Many campers (and not only those travelling alone) rely on an additional door lock on the body door: this could be a simple chain, an additional external lock or reinforced door security on the existing lock. Window profiles or drawbar locks for caravans are also popular anti-theft protection devices.

For the front doors of campervans and motorhomes, retaining straps and holding bars have proved their worth, fitted so that neither door can be opened from the outside as the connection holds them both closed.

A universal deterrent and warning solution is of course an alarm system – both for when you are in the vehicle and when you need to leave it parked and unattended. For the latter scenario, wheel clamps or swivelling the driver and passenger seats around and locking them together have also proven effective against attempted theft. These sorts of visible barriers are often enough to deter potential burglars.

Man’s – and indeed woman’s – best friend, a dog can be a great companion for many campers. If you are travelling alone, a dog not only provides company but also an enormous sense of security, as they are more keenly aware of sounds than humans and often have a natural protective instinct.
