do not remove the battery whilst in
storage.
Regular checks to the storage site
can reassure you that all is well and that
there have been no weather-related
incidents that may affect the condition
of your caravan/motorhome.
Caravan security
Your caravan will be the one of the
biggest investments you make in your
lifetime. It is essential that you ensure
that you protect your investment with
security devices that reassure you that
you have protected the caravan, to
a good standard, and that you have
at least met the requirements of any
insurance standard.
When your caravan is either parked,
at home, or stored on a secure storage
site, you should ensure that security
devices are in place to keep your
investment safe.
The Caravan Safety and Security Group
(CSSG) recommends that, at least, the
following additional security devices
should be used to give your investment
greater protection:
• A good quality, proprietary brand,
hitch lock at least complying with
Sold Secure Gold Standard
• Wheel Clamp(s) complying with at
least the Sold Secure Gold Standard,
or for wheel immobilisers the Sold
Secure Diamond Standard
• the fitting of a proactive - inertia /
movement sensor device,
monitored by an approved
monitoring provider (minimum
12-month subscription)
In addition, you may also consider:
• An after-theft recovery device,
linked to the inertia / movement
sensor - alarm system. These
systems communicate with an
‘Approved’ monitoring station
that will liaise with Police / Law
Enforcement; they can locate the
position of the caravan using a
variety of technologies.
Your insurer may advise you with
regard to systems / devices that would
qualify for an insurance benefit with
them - not all Insurers recognise the
same products for such a benefit!
