Anybody make a hidden gun safe?

[Socalcamper87]

Curious if anyone has made a hidden safe for a couple guns or hidden compartment. I was thinking about wood working a box underneath the bed so when you lift up the bed. Add a little structure and store a couple guns and ammo

I just use and IWB and ankle safe (ya know, holsters ). In all seriousness though, I am definitely contemplating a more secure method inside the TT for sidearm storage. I'm not a hunter so the likelihood of having a long gun with me on a camping trip is slim although it has happened. There was a free public outdoor range near where we stayed. I was looking at a small cabinet space that I believe the frame rail runs under it. I was thinking some sort of small safe through bolted to that point. Time will tell.

Problem with any lock box or safe will be if you really need to get into it in a hurry it may be too late...

The old Western movies shows the best place to hang up the Belt Holsters.. Right beside the front door hanging on one of these...

In states where I cant carry, I created a box under the dinette seat and slapped a "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" sticker and a "120 VOLT" sticker to hide the laptop, guns and other valuables when we are sightseeing. Looks like a Jayco installed box to cover some electrical components.

True, however if there is a time were carrying both is not feasible, it's nice to have a secure place to lock up the other. When I am sleeping, one of them is holstered right next to me.

Good idea

I keep a rifle in my truck, unloaded and something else in the center console, not, unloaded.

I have a few hidey holes in the camper. Nothing elaborate.

I got in the habit of carrying while camping after my dog got hit with a rattle snake.

I was thinking something along the lines of this. But no fancy stain. Foam on the inside. Basic lumber so it blends with the trailer from the bottom where the storage compartment is. Make it where it can add structure to the bed.

Yes, but I will not disclose how or where I have done this on an open internet forum.

I thought the same thing but what are the chances of a crook monitoring this site let alone matching a user to a campsite and then to a camper. I only post pictures or disclose where I went after I get home.
