I'd be interested to hear what you would do should this happen to you. It's 2:30am & I'm asleep in bed in an open, designated MH area, and a knock comes on the door that keeps going till I stir.
The o/h cab window at my head is open, and I pull down the blind to see a man there, who is asking for a blanket.
This has now happened on two occasions - in the same place, in similar circumstances, a year apart. I don't have a 'blanket' to give - certainly not one of my good sleeping bags - so I say no, apologise and he leaves.
Of course, I find it v.hard to get back to sleep and every little noise is suspicious - despite all the vehicle doors being barred. I start worrying about whether he's still outside and if he might have a go at a door or do something else to the tyres or a window or whatever.
I don't hear him knock at either neighbouring van - one of which also has an open vent. I'm feeling around for my personal panic alarm and wondering if it would be a good idea to move...
I was tired enough to eventually get off again and by the morning, nothing has happened to the van. Would you keep a spare blanket or is it a ruse to get me to open the door...
