<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 24897288, member: 31533&quot;]I&#039;ve traveled all over the US and Canada over the past 5 decades. And every single time, I would know ahead of time what items come out of the car into the hotel room. Sometimes it would be the entire contents of my car I would unload into my hotel or motel room and reload into the car in the morning. Two reasons, I did not want someone stealing my stuff and I did not want someone breaking into the car itself. One simply cannot, even parking right in front of a motel room&#039;s window, protect items from theft if they are left in a car.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a larger car, there are carts that are good to pack with it so that you can simply unload onto a cart and pull that in. I have something like this, though the handle is fully different and it doesn&#039;t have a mesh bottom, has bars across. Though mine was pricey (I had two, but the larger one was given for use for someone and I allowed that person to sell it after their use of it; I keep the smaller one because it can fit in my car if I need it) it is really, IMO worth it. Without a mesh, I can also put in a wood panel to fit the bottom to help hold things that are not as wide as the bars.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/9fc4a8332f9638515cd199dd0f9238da/6/0/60359_W3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it took time and in a few motel rooms, I had almost no room to get to the bathroom from the bed, based on all the things I packed in my car. But I slept knowing that in the morning I could re-load it into the car and continue on. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, except for one motel (in Utah) where I unloaded all my stuff only to find that the place had bugs. Because it was late and I was tired and it was miles from another motel I did sleep there, though as preservation, at night, I did not leave my stuff on the floor or bed, but piled it on chairs and the table and such as I could to help deter some of the critters if possible. In the morning it took longer to get my stuff back in the car because I had to first go through all my stuff and make sure I carried no critters out to the car. Luckily in this case I was not parked in a situation where people were really observing me well. Then I had to shower and go. Yes, I did tell the office that it was unsatisfactory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
