Caravan Security Advice
Consider a hitch lock combined with a good quality wheel clamp. Caravan specific alarms are available which will send a signal to your mobile device if intruders or motion is detected. Consider locking it to a security post at your home. Park nose-first to your house so that thieves can’t easily hitch it to their car. Remove all valuables from the caravan to minimise the cost of a break-in and leave the curtains open with no contents in sight to show there is nothing worth stealing. Tracking devices are probably the most high-tech security measure on this list and are a great addition to your caravan’s defences.
