Many thanks for this, do you know the range because we keep our caravan in storage around 15 miles away from home.

That's great many thanks. I had my new swift sprite major stolen last month and I truly believe I was targeted. I believe this because it only took them around 10 min to remove my hitch lock and wheel clamps. I also believe they used a tracking device to track my caravan down, so it's a good idea when leaving any campsite to check the outside and underneath of your caravan thoroughly before leaving. I was fully insured but its makes me feel very nervous about getting another one, because these thieves are very clever. So all we can do is make things very difficult for them, even if it means securing all wheels or removing them when in storage. Fitting corner stays locks, hitch locks and fitting tracking devices. 👍

Removing the wheels is probably by far the best thing you can do to prevent a caravan being stolen, but I doubt whether many storage sites will allow that. They would probably argue that they need to be able to move stored caravans in case of an emergency, such as a fire. No problem with a caravan stored on your own property though.

my caravan insurance insists on a wheel clamp , which would be impossible without a wheel , also storage owners wouldnt be able to move them

We have the Phantom Proactive which notifies you immediately if anyone interferes with the caravan. If it is not you, then they alert the police who have to respond as Phantom tracker is a large organisation.
