    I had a caravan stolen of a secure military base last year, another caravan and a motor home were stolen at the same time. The police closed the case almost straight away, is there any point in marking your vans when the police make no efforts to trace them?

    Check your insurance policy – Caravanguard would not insure my van when in my gated/locked rear garden without an alko wheel lock – even whrn I normally remove tbe road wheels and use Bulldog “winter wheels”. No sense to me – to move my van thieves would need to remove locked lumps of metal and bring their own road wheels – and then get the van through the 6ft gates!

    • Depending on the value and storage location of the caravan we would ask for extra security to be able to provide cover. I will ask one of our specialist insurance advisers to contact you to so we can look into this further.

I believe one of our specialist insurance advisers has been in contact with you to discuss this in more detail with you. Thanks for insuring your tourer with Caravan Guard. Liz

    My caravan is parked side on across the front of the garage. During winter the wheels are removed,the alarm is set and the van has a breathable cover. There is also 2 cars parked by the side of the van.

  4. Richard Wakeman says:

    I suggest that when storing the caravan at home, select a location that is not visible from the road or other public space if that is possible.

    I store my van on my driveway it is drove into the house and it is hitched on to the house it is fitted with a hitch lock wheel clamp and a alarm would this help my insurance

    • Liz @ Caravan Guard says:

      Hi Colin, great to hear about your caravan security. We’d offer a discount for the alarm and we’d need to know more information about the hitch on the house, as it’s not something we’ve heard of before.
