Approved Security Devices
When shopping for security devices, you may be more likely to make a saving on your caravan insurance if you opt for those that have been put through rigorous testing for their effectiveness and durability.

You will be able to identify quality mechanical products, as they will be marked as Sold Secure approved. Electronic devices, such as alarms, immobilisers and tracking devices, are often Thatcham approved.

Storage
If you’re lucky enough to have space at home for your caravan, this can often be the safest place to store it when it’s not in use. Remember to invest in additional security such as a locking gate, drive post or even a heavy-duty chain to help prevent the caravan from being stolen.

If you opt for a caravan storage site, look for one through the Caravan Storage Site Owners Association (CaSSOA) as they regulate storage site standards and can give you a better idea of the security and service you will be getting for your money.

Documents
It’s often tempting to leave the caravan registration documents in a safe place, such as inside the caravan itself.

However, this is not advisable, as any thief would then have the owner’s documents making it easier to sell the caravan to unsuspecting buyers.

Records
If your caravan is stolen, it may look like any other caravan to the police. Therefore, you can make identification easier by keeping a photographic record of the caravan from all angles and all it’s distinctive features or personal touches.

Valuables
This is probably the most common sense top tip – remove all valuables from the caravan when not in use, especially if leaving your caravan in storage. Any valuables left in the caravan could tempt the would-be thief to break in to steel your property, damaging your caravan in the process.
