Hello. A little guidance if you don't mind. Just changed from MH to caravan, amazed at how expensive insurance is. I just didn't realise how attractive vans are to those who would like one but prefer not to pay. Whats the favourite method of immobilisation among you experienced vanners. Thanks in anticipation.

My insurance company insisted on both a wheel clamp and a hitchlock. I don't know what other methods there are.

If it's parked in storage when not in use, make sure their security measures are adequate.

Hitch lock, wheel clamp, alarm, CCTV..........can't be too careful!

Next van will also have lockable rear steadies and a tracker.

Obliged for the replies. Hitch lock & wheel clamp it is then. I can see that the assorted security hardware will no doubt be my most expensive accessory! Thanks again.

The supermule is a good lock. This bolts with security bolts to the chassis and you are then able to lower a lockable shaft that drives itself into the ground if the caravan is towed away.

I have one available, if interested drop me an email jd(at)applemead(dot)co(dot)uk and I can explain more.
