Hi all;
Just wondering about the security of the caravan when on site. We will use a mixture of Club Sites and CL's and I was wondering if things like hitch locks and wheel locks should be fitted when sited.
I can imagine that Insurance companies might prefer them to be but sites might not in case they need to move the van in case of emergency.
Would appreciate thoughts on this...

I have never heard of a caravan being stolen from a site but happy to be enlightened.
I have, about 20 years ago. I site that I used regularly had a caravan stolen. The son of the site owner gave chase, contacted the police and kept them informed. The thief (or thieves - I forget) abandoned car and caravan on the hard shoulder and scrambled up the embankment. The owners son gave chase and made an arrest prior to the police arriving. I remember because the site owner, nice guy, was chuffed because both he and his son were presented with an award certificate on the same day. His son for the arrest and him for giving CPR a week or so before.
