How many security devices have you got fitted to your caravan? I've now got 5... A hitch lock (modified with stronger padlock protection), 2 wheel clamps, a 'secure' jockey wheel clamp and my own as yet un-patented 'anti-hitching' device...
I know full well that they can all be beaten by a determined thief, but hopefully they will slow down or put off the opportunist...

We have two different wheel clamps, an Alko Hitchlock, corner steady locks, an alarm and a tracker. It also lives up our drive and a very loud bark from our dog if anyone has the temerity to walk up the side of the house. Can't think of anything else that we would want to put on it, however, we never feel complacent but we are confident that we could be outside before the would be thieves could get everything off to be able to make off with our pride and joy, oh, and next door we have the biggest, meanest neighbour who likes us! Look out thieves, stealing our caravan could endanger your health!
