Caravan security
Securing your caravan has to be a top priority, you have just spent up to £30,000 on your pride and joy and spending a few hundred pounds on a good alarm, tracker and hitch lock is a must.
Not only will it keep your caravan safe and secure when you are and are not using it, but it will also save you money on your insurance, with big discounts being offered for the top off the line security.
Hitch Locks
Hitch locks stop the potential thief from being able to hitch up and tow away quickly, they normally come with a tamper alarm to let you know what is happening. Combining this with corner steady locks and it will be hard for a thief to move the caravan at all.
Wheel clamps
Wheel clamps are a great visual deterrent for a opportunist thief. Wheel clamps alone are not enough and only offer a small delay in getting the caravan away, there are more sophisticated systems on the market, so research carefully before purchasing.
Caravan alarms
If you are looking to scare your potential thief and rest a little easier when not with your caravan, a 115db alarm should do the trick. Major discounts on insurance and total internal and external caravan protection is a bonus.
Caravan trackers

A tracker provides a massive deter ant that will 95% of the time get your van back, quickly and securely and with massive discounts from insurers, they can save you money in the longer term.
