I think we forgot to tell you about the TV in our motorhome... Last spring we got a new bigger TV and Peter put a suspension device on the inside of the garage door so we can sit outside and watch it. If it's cold, we move it inside and put it on the small cross sofa ...

Of course, you are afraid of both the motorhome and all the stuff you store in it. This is what we have done to protect ourselves (as much as possible) against robbery, theft and fire. Do you have any other good tips?
