Feeling Safe on the Road
Why I Chose Extra Locks for my Camper Van
Traveling alone through the Alps has been one of the most empowering experiences of my life. Waking up surrounded by mountains, choosing my own route, moving at my own pace, it’s pure freedom.
During my recent trips through the Alps, I decided to invest in additional security for my camper van. I chose locks from a Danish company, a brand specializing in security solutions designed specifically for campers and vans. They even came to our location and installed the lockers.
Honestly, It has made a huge difference for me when I travel alone.
Sleeping alone, and truly feeling safe
Before installing the extra locks, I was always a little more alert at night when traveling alone. Every unfamiliar sound outside would make me pause.
Now, with the additional exterior locks secured, I genuinely feel safe inside my van. Knowing that the doors are reinforced with an extra layer of protection gives me real peace of mind. I can relax. I can sleep deeply. And that changes everything.
I had the same lockers in my old camper and just knew it was the right thing to get them installed again.
Dog life ….
Another important reason for upgrading my locks is my dog. When I step out of the camper, whether for groceries, a quick hike, or a coffee stop, he stays inside.
I need to know he is safe.
Therefor every time I leave the van, I lock the additional exterior locks. It’s part of my routine now. Knowing that my dog is protected while I’m away gives me the confidence to enjoy my time outside without constant worry.
A Small Upgrade, A Big Difference
Investing in extra locks might not sound exciting compared to solar panels or new gear. But for me, it has been one of the most valuable upgrades I’ve made to my camper.
Traveling solo in the Alps has taught me many things, and one of them is this Freedom feels best when you feel safe.
