Hi following on from a problem I'm having with a delayed V5, it has got me thinking about where to put our documents on our 3 month trip around France, Spain & Portugal.  What is the safest option with regards to V5, Passports and Driving Licences.  Carry
them on your person or hide in the Motorhome?  Same with spare/emergency credit card.

We are well travelled all over the world, but only in hotels where we use the safe, new to Motorhoming and this will be our first overseas trip.

We are going to get a safe, but wondering what the best option is has anyone ever had motorhome broken into?    Are we more likely to encounter sneak thiefs who grab & run or more organised wait until you leave van then ransack it?  

I don't want to dwell on it too much and make myself paranoid but any ideas would be helpfull.  The only place we can fit a safe is under our sofa which is the first place anyone would check.   There isn't anywhere in the van to put a safe that would also
hide it in anyway.    Thanks
