Wheel lock when camping on site

Is there anything wrong with trying to protect your own property ???

yes, because others on here know what is best for you, isn't that the CT way?

On another group I'm on its become quite popular to have the registration number of the MH put in BIG letters on the roof.

Reading this thread has reminded me how much more security we will need on the new caravan compared to the MH  

In the last 6 years we have never had a problem, no wheel lock, no steering wheel lock, or handbrake clamp and we don't turn our drivers seat and padlock that either. Just blip the alarm when we leave the van, why we bother sometimes I don't know, as the windows and skylights are usually left open.

We know have an alarm fitted to the caravan (came as standard) wheel lock, hitch lock and all the windows have locking catches.

By the way turning the drivers seat and fitting a padlock to prevent it from turning back is very effective I'm told.

The only reasonable precaution you can take against petty theft from a caravan is to take your valuables with you. Our experience many years ago was that the thieves ransacked a lot of caravans in very little time. They popped all the locks, ignored any alarms and were gone in no time. It took them seconds whilst we were at the pool to turn all the contents of our van - wardrobe, drawers, lockers - out onto the floor. Nothing was stolen. I remember our dealer saying that if we had a stronger lock on the door they would just have done more damage but it would not have slowed them down.

As said above, motorhome are more secure although they still have flimsy windows which are easily prised open. 

We’ve had this conversation over a long time, I won’t repeat myself as it upsets your sensibilities AD. Suffice to say-I don’t C/van abroad, my decision, bite down & move on👍🏻😊

Just as an aside, Alko are advertising 50% off some of their wheel locks at the moment.

You and me both David! One wee at a time!🤣🤣

That sounds like a good deal- the Alko wheel lock is not a cheap item.
