Wheel lock when camping on site

What does your insurer require?

Insurance policy only require factory security no discount for clamp or steering wheel lock would it usually be safe enough on the sites without wheel clamp? Or is it best to carry the extra weight 

If you are staying on a wardened CMC site then there should be no problems at all. We have a caravan and always put the hitch lock on together with the alarm but it is an insurance requirement and also just habit.

Your steering column lock should be sufficient but if you venture onto CLs then I would advise using the clamp. We've not had any problems on CLs either but some of them are in remote locations or sometimes do not have anyone directly looking over them, e.g. farmers working etc.

 

It has never crossed my mind to have a wheel clamp on my motorhome although I did on my previous caravan. I do have a Strikeback Alarm and a factory fitted immobilser fitted which hopefully would be some deterrent. I know we can't take anything for granted but I always think of campsites as relatively safe places. If you would feel safer using a wheel clamp have a look at the Bulldog Euro clamp which whilst still quite heavy is more compact than most.

Thanks for the replys I'm just concerned about the weight quite heavy at around 10kg

A wheel clamp on site would be a real pain in my view. We don’t even possess one.

On site we rely on the vehicle's own security and, in a public car park, will add a steering wheel lock which also acts as a visible deterrent.

I'd leave the wheel clamp at home, Nash.

We take a bulldog euroclamp , and use when we go off site , the way I see it is , all our belongings are in the motorhome ,so if it was to "go missing" when in a car park you have lost everything 

but it's what your happy with

We are same as TW. Just don't leave any valuables on view in a car park. If you just pitch up on a site, doubt you will have any worries. A lot of Farm CLs have excellent security in place as they are protecting much more expensive gear than Motorhomes!

Security requirements for caravans and motorhomes differ. A MH is basically a large expensive car with car type security. It came with a tracker fitted in addition to the normal immobiliser/alarm. The only additional security I've added is a steering wheel heavy duty "Stoplock" which acts as a visual deterrent.
