we are driving to Lake Garda this summer and plan to overnight in Germany. OH doesn't want to unpack the camper for 1 night after hours of driving so we though of getting a hotel.
How would we make the camper safe overnight? I fear I wouldn't get a wink of sleep for worrying!!
I've been recommended to upgrade our wheel lock to a bulldog titan.... what else can I do or is a hotel stop just far to risky?
My friends think I'm a toughie camper however, for years while over-nighting enroute to southern france, we've been using hotels.
Chain hotels like B&B, Ibis etc all have CCTV and in some cases gates that close at around 11 pm.
This is about double the price of camping, but I think worth every cent. You can arrive late (in any weather) and can be away smartly in the morning.
Tip- Google hotels in likely areas then check out the car park on Google Earth.
Go for it.
Decent chain/ hitchlock To the car, and a wheel clamp for piece of mind.
And as above Google map/ street have a good nosey at the carpark, have done this a few times in France.
I normally leave it hitched and reverse into an impossible spot, say against a wall or curb so it would take some effort to remove the car before getting at the trailer.
Often these budget style hotels have a gated carpark.
