I usually feel very safe in my RV, whether I’m parked in a campground, a Walmart, or a turnout. If I’m overnighting in an urban area, I choose a spot with a couple of exits and good light. If I’m in the boonies, I try to stay out of the sightline of passing vehicles. I’ve only had one scare that taught me to keep my cellphone handy and charged at all times, otherwise I’ve been very lucky so far as intruders go.

Nick and Terry Russell weren’t so lucky the other night. You can read about their terrifying encounter with an armed intruder at the Gypsy Journal blog.
