After many years of looking we took the plunge 8 weeks ago and bought a Majestic 195 (2014).

We’ve already had many adventures including a tour around the very narrow streets of Mevagissey - 1st lesson - don’t rely on Sat Nav!
The van has an alarm system but we would like to add additional security as it proudly sits on our open drive when not in use .

Any suggestions - we were thinking of a wheel clamp but would appreciate any advice.

Many thanks

Derek & Debra

Mevagissey! Oh, please tell me you didn’t really 😱

No anti theft device will stop the determined thief but a wheel clamp at home and a steering lock when home or away are about as good as any. Some people cement fold down poles into their drives but, as I said, nothing is foolproof. Some insurance companies insist on particular items, some not.

Next time park in The Willows. You can stay overnight too.👍🏻

Mevagissey on my tick list as done and not to be repeated . Thankfully 3 locals helped us when confronted by a stream of traffic coming straight at us just as we were about to go up the steepest hill (or so it seemed) in Cornwall ! 
Thanks for advice .

Tell me this wasn’t you... pictured recently in Mevagissey, ignored plenty of very big signs and just about to enter the zone of maximum disruption to locals & visitors alike!
