Sorry to hear about that, I hope you get it back soon. I'm sure there are members on here who will keep a lookout for it, also why not contact admin with the details and ask them to add it to the stolen unit database on here.

Sorry to hear of your loss mate. Was the van fitted with any security devices? I'm just wondering if they really do deter thieves.

It doesnt take long before they find easy ways to remove or bypass most security.
Why remove the hitch when you can add another hitch and clamp it to the van?
Wheel clamps can be cut off or drilled.
If they want it bad enough they will get it.

Some people just don't care, hope you get van back, is there a caravan site near you that you can visit to see if its there. They might be local, if you do find it don't approach them just phone police.

Best to put a picture on here, someone in the folding camper and tent section reported their dandy had been stolen. Within hours someone had spotted it up for sale on e bay, with the people's belongings inside.

there are a lot of travellers hiring yards and selling caravans round where i live.
ask your local police or trading standards if they know of any travellers selling caravans within a 30 mile or so radius and have a ride round them.
the only other thing i can think of is - find sites in you area that do storage or allow caravans owners to pay yearly rent keep their caravans on site for a year or more.
email these sites and ask if anyone is storing or using a eldiss antigua special edition as a static on their site.
you will be surprised how few antigua special editions are being used as statics or stored on sites.
you can widen your search as and when.
you can start now by going into sites with storage at the top of the page.

Thanks for all your replys, I have been to a few traveller sites today but most are like military camps with little access, let's hope the police can help!!
no! i don't mean the travellers sites. i mean the little back street yards that sell second hand caravans.
your trading standards or planning enforcement team ( local authority ) might have addresses for you to look round.
you can still try email.

Sadly doesn't take a genius to figure out where your van is now.
Hope the insurers are co-operative.
