Full-time RVing and personal safety

[JRTJH]

Thinking about the sequence of events should an intruder break into an RV while the owner is inside: They're probably coming through the ONE door to the RV. If you are in bed, chances are when you use pepper spray, the intruder will be somewhere inside the RV, probably between you and the door. Spraying pepper spray "indiscriminately" to immobilize him might also mean that you're going to either be trapped in the RV "with the pepper spray choking everything that breathes" or you're going to have to step over him to get out to fresh air......

While spraying pepper spray might be the only alternative, think about what air you're going to have to breathe and if there are small children or pets in the RV's "closed up space", have you got a plan to provide fresh air for them???

I'm not saying don't use pepper spray in an enclosed RV, but if you want to know what it's going to be like, try it in the driveway. You may get an "eye opener" about what comes after you take your finger off the trigger......
