No there isnt, but theres always one on the end of the phone, and the chances are this pair would hang around until they had got what they wanted off some poor person. I would have called them, on motorways and main routes theres normally a car patroling within a couple of miles of the services that could be dispatched if needed.

We always lock our caravan door when towing, its part of our pre-tow walk around check before we set off onto the road. we also lock ourselves into the car if were held up anywhere in traffic, I once suffered a very frightening experiance of someone trying to open the rear passenger door where my handbag was foolishly left in view on the back seat along with a heap of Christmas shopping, I shall never make that mistake again, luckily it was locked, and a friend who worked in a London bank had someone get into her car at traffic lights as she was leaving work and demand she hand over the work keys as shes had just locked up, very scarey stuff indeed, she had obviously been targeted and followed, although they did catch the culprits thanks to CCTV footage, they were known criminals with previous records for armed robbery, so she got away lightly with no physical injuries as she did what they asked.

the services would have had security and a lot of services have a police station on site as well for the patrol cars .we always take turns for the loo when stopping heard to many stories over the years

When we stop I cannot go to the loo at all only Bob can and I stay behind. Problem one has when  mostly in a wheelchair and needs a  carer with them. So I hBld my pee or whatever. But generally women canhold longer even if they should not. But Bob cannot hold onto his.

Could not put the fc up to get to the loo.

Now we have a little Lunar caravan. I can go also now for the first time.

The Skoda Yeti car we have automatically locks itself  when we drive off. But if Bob gets out it stays unlocked as pressure pad under drivers seat. But the little button next to the lighter you press and lock yourself in, but you have to be aware to listen for it again as it only stays locked  for a certain amount of time. Then just depress again.

No knobs inside windows, so not like what we used to have and just push them down.

Not always does automatic things work out the best if the ability to lock your own doors individually is taken away.

 Why did they not leave the old idea on as an added extra security.
