Q: Where is the safest place to store my caravan and what security devices are available to protect it from theft?
A: Nowhere is safe from the determined thief; however, the majority of caravans are stolen from storage compounds, closely followed by the home address. Thefts occur all year round and cover all ages of caravan, although newer ones seem most vulnerable. To avoid becoming another insurance statistic, and to meet most insurers’ conditions of acceptance, certain precautions should be taken. Many caravan security devices are available on the market, from wheelclamps to hitchlocks, from alarms to sophisticated tracking systems. Prices vary from £30 to over £600, and it is very difficult to decide which would be the most effective. Generally, a device carrying the Sold Secure Gold logo is of adequate quality to satisfy insurers.
