The value of your caravan isn't important but if damage is caused by your caravan to a third party you need insurance so no matter how inexpensive your caravan is you need insurance.

When you ask for quotes they'll soon tell you what minimum security they require you to have. The more you have the longer it'll take the scum to pinch your van. When they pinched our first new one I went OTT with devices to make their life harder. Some still say they'll still get it if the want it but they'd have earned ours.

To fit our Al-Ko locks I always jacked the van up and we soon knew where the wheel needed to be to settle in the right lace to take the lock. We always hitched our caravan to a post so because it was captive the receiver was always in the wrong place to fit the lock but jacking it up didn't take long.

We also had leg locks & a hitch lock for our and were insured with Caravan Guard, on our old caravan which didn't have the Al-Ko hitch we also used to fit a small Barrel lock into the hole above the release trigger on the hitch, this little lock prevented the van being hitched as long as it was in place & was said to be undrillable.
