Passport Security

Security is always an issue whilst motorhoming so I thought I’d share a tip with you all.



We have a Pilote XXX and there is a liftable flap on the back of the dinette seats which hide the seatbelt fastener when not in use. This is also ideal for putting passports, well hidden but also easily accessible.



For extra security nudge the passport with clumsy fingers so it slips down the back of the seat. It should now be sitting snugly behind the steel post which fastens the seat belt to the chassis.



The best way to retrieve the passport is to drain the fresh water, disengage all the relevant plumbing, remove the fresh water tank, undo the bolts holding the steel support from the floor and pop the passport out. Remembering to replace plumbing, fresh water tank, steel post etc. What could be easier?



Only an idiot would try to push the passport from its resting place using a long thin instrument- say a fly swatter, go outside in the rain to the heater cupboard, disconnect several heater pipes. Hold a torch between the teeth, reach in under the double floor causing severe lacerations to the forearm before withdrawing the passport with the tips of fingers and dropping it in the mud.



There, an easy way to be secure and endear yourself to border officials of any country.



Stay safe everyone.
That made me laugh, I have a vision of your exploits in my mind now ......
 
i tell you what there are some people on here that would start a fight in an empty room i cant believe how some people have so much negativity when at the end of the day i am only trying to help & it seems to be the same people all the time
especially " THE 3 MUSKETEERS "
I think saying some funsters are like the 3 musketeers is very wrong as it is inaccurate and wrong ... there were 4 musketeers and some were handsome so you shouldn't insult them by making a comparison to the funsters I think you're referring to who are just plain ugly! :LOL:

Enjoy the fun instead of taking it too seriously otherwise you'll blow a gasket! :giggle:
 
On a serious note, it is worth taking a photo of your Passport Details Page and storing in a Cloud Account. If you are unlucky enough to lose your passport and need to obtain a temporary travel document from a British Consulate/Embassy, you will be easily able to retrieve the necessary details. 🤞
We have copies on our laptops and storage (USB stick, portable hard drive etc) which as well as being a back-up in case our originals are lost/nicked they also come in handy if we need to submit a copy for other purposes, eg opening savings etc accounts, I've also got copies of the dogs' PPs too.

Why was the book called 'The Three Musketeers' if there were four of them AND how do you know they were handsome??
The film actors may have been but........signed, Confused of Surbiton :unsure:

PS. In todays world, are we allowed to use the word 'ugly' however correct that may be? :rofl:
