    Yep van vulnerability has always been a worry, at the end of the day like at home all you can do is try and make yours less vulnerable than the next van... q's you face are how far do you go and what you want to pay

      Thanks for watching, 🚐👍 That’s a good question, how much to spend on security and is it worth it?

    In places like that there's someone always watching waiting for the owners to leave. Spain is bad like that too.

    I really didn't think about that much while building our campervan and posting the videos online. People now know where all our hiding spots are. We do have security cams, but now I am thinking we need to install a safe. SMH

      Thanks for watching. The safety of the vans contents is a concern, but the more security you have the better. 🚐👍

    After that fabulous parking job in tight Milan lot. You said it best re the break in: sort yourself out. Broken glass, so terrible. Life is difficult enough. I always wonder, why add to the difficulty? So sorry this happened.

    PS we toured Florence, Bari etc in Italy and honestly it was so rough, it was just like dodgy areas of the uk. And they HATE foreigners and we were verbally abused just walking down to the beach in Bari. Honestly we’ve never experienced anything like it anywhere else in Europe. We got really put off Italy and ended up going back to Spain

    That’s so horrible in regards to the robberies/break ins. I know that locals in Italy look at license plates and if it’s a foreign plate they feel entitled to break in and smash it up. What’s so sad is they don’t think about the fact that a lot of people actually live full time in their vans as their home and are often lower income people, so kicking people whilst they’re down is just evil :(

      In my opinion I'd say it's illegal immigrants/migrants/fake asylum seekers. The crimes across UK and Europe are rife by these people (call me racist all ya like... I ain't but hey ho). Facts and figures speak the truth. The whole "diversity is our strength" is out of hand now. They get everything for free and hence feel they can also take anything for free. No respect for the people or country that they are in
