we've got CC insurance and we have to clamp ours.

From the CC 5Cs terms and conditions:
"It is a requirement of this Certificate of Insurance that whenever the Caravan is left unhitched from a towing vehicle for a period exceeding 8 hours, it is immobilised or protected against theft or unlawful removal `by the use of one of the following: a hitchlock, wheel clamp, heavy duty chain or immobiliser or an alarm system. Failure to comply with this Warranty will prevent You claiming Indemnity following the theft or attempted theft of the Caravan"

CC insurance don't require one!

Explains why they charge so much.

In my case they were the cheapest!

I lock mine every time but I recently went to a site where the van had to be sited tow hitch facing out, I questioned the warden why and he stated it was in case of fire and removal of vans quickly, which begs the question, its not fast thing to do on some of these vans to remove the locks fast, I know once I have finished removing my wheel locks x2 and fanning around trying to remove my hitch lock, I would have burned down :(

I spend a couple of months each year touring France and the only vans I have seen fitted with wheel clamps appear to be UK vans.

It says ONE of the following so a wheel clamp is not an absolute requirement. In any case how would an insurance co prove there wasn't one on it anyway
