Why motorhomes are the preferred target of thieves

Motorhomes, especially those based on Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper, attract thieves due to easy break-ins, high resale value and the presence of valuables. The rear door and compartments are easily opened, and plexiglass windows break with a hammer blow. Last year, a network suspected of stealing 151 vehicles was dismantled in Centre-Val de Loire, and more than ten motorhomes were burgled in one night at the Montélimar rest area. Standard alarms only cover the front part, so owners are advised to install additional systems, such as Thitronik for 500 euros, which detects intrusion and sends a notification to a smartphone.

Therese and Joel spend vacation 20 km from home

A couple from Valdoie spent a month at the Lac de la Seigneurie campsite in Leval, 20 km from home. They parked their caravan from June 19 to July 27. Therese and Joel have been camping for 44 years, starting with a tent. The campsite director noted their sociability. The couple chose the site after a visit on April 1, when the campsite was closed, but they spoke with the director. Proximity to home allowed them to collect mail and host their granddaughters.
