    Securing the items inside while traveling is high on my list now. I've always drove around my 4runner with the seats down and everything tossed in. My wife and I were driving back from hunting and I randomly decided to put the rear seat up for travel. On the way home a drunk driver in a f350 dually and horse trailer pulled out in front of us while we were going 50mph. There was no time to brake and we t-boned him. Thankfully the gear hit the rear seat backs and stopped it, but it bent the brackets pretty bad.

    My tip is car batteries and large lithium batteries have bleed over. I see so many suv & van builds with people sleeping either on top of the batteries in a build or with it right by their head. Stay save and ensure the battery is enclosed and not next to you head.

      Good tip Karen. Thanks for sharing. Battery safety probably is a vide in and of itself!

    Good checklist to have in mind.

    Great safety list, especially the spare key. That is something not often thought about. Kids and dogs can easily hit the automatic lock button.
    Have you ever had an issue with the vehicle exhaust damaging the rear cargo box or your gear?
    The photo used for the video looks like the Utah Salt Flats 😁 I’m in SLC.

      Hello Jennifer. Thanks for the comment! Yes, the spare key was the last thing I came up with on my list. Took many trips without it, but now very glad I have it! I have never had an issue with exhaust damaging anything stored in the hitch cargo carrier. But dust is definitely a factor back there! Yes, very similar terrain and another place they also try and set land speed records!

    Looped cables and cable locks are insecure. I locked my expensive bicycle to the wall in my garage using a combination padlock and a looped cable. The padlock failed and jammed. So I looked for the weakest point. I assumed it was the loop connection. Using a pair of side cutters, I removed the plastic covering and exposed the connection. The connection was nothing more than a soft compressed aluminum tube that was easy to remove withe the side cutters. So one with a pair of cheap side cutters can easily remove a so called Superman like braided stainless steel cable.

      Totally agree Mike! That is how my first cargo box went goodbye! Now, I use hexagonal chains whenever I can.

    How would one reconcile safety, and the back window not being locked (for quick escape)?

    • @SuburbanCamping
      @SuburbanCamping  3 года назад +1

      Good point Linda. There is a trade off for sure. If having every entry and exit locked is the highest priority, then be sure to have an emergency hammer handy!

    seems like alot of trouble to go through to secure your gear, and to me that would take away the fun of the adventure. I do get the concept tho, but i just thinks its overkill and i just try to make sure im in a fairly safe place anyways...where's your faith in mankind ? sounds kinda paranoid...

      Obviously his faith in mankind would have failed twice since he had his gear stolen twice. LOL.
