Caravan break-ins can happen, so it’s wise to beef up your security to deter thieves and protect your pride and joy.
A caravan insurance policy will have minimum security requirements, such as always fitting a hitchlock and wheel clamp, but there are other visible devices to make a thief think twice.
There are plenty of devices to add an extra layer of security to your tourer – from axle wheel locks to corner steady locks, plus window and door locks, to name a few.
In this month’s community poll, we’d like to know if you’ve added any extra locks to your caravan.
Choose from the options below and if we’ve missed a caravan lock off the list then check the “other” and comment in the box below.
We’d also love to know why you’ve added a certain type of caravan lock and if it’s given you that extra layer of defence and peace of mind.
We’ll report back the results in October as we bring you some tips on fitting locks to your tourer.
A very simple way to discover peoples worries…How far do you go?
I agree with the above comments about the door locks, I bought a new Coachman 575 last year and had a door lock off my old Caravan but would damage the door and sealing if I fitted it.
I agree Chris, I pay for good secure storage that’s also considered with caravan insurance also good caravan sites that have barriers for in and out, most caravaners wouldn’t break into another on a holiday site so do your research beforehand for reviews if it happens, there are always some bad apples etc. If it’s got a bad reputation ‘stay clear’.

Current caravan door locks are very poor and fitting extra locks could damage the framework. Manufacturers should be doing a lot more, but then again if your van is on the “wanted” list criminals will always be able to steal them without too much force
I agree with both Chris and Tom – the manufacturer’s should beef up the security. If we, as the customers are encouraged to fit aftermarket locks doesn’t that say to the manufacturer that the ones they are fitting aren’t good enough.
I don’t see the point of fitting extra locks as the framework for the doors are lightweight and any thief with a large screwdriver would
easily force entry to your caravan/moho
Extra locks maybe a nice to have but they are ugly and in some cases in merely fitting them could arguably break caravan warranty. It is time the caravan makers fitted better locks at the factory. I may be naive but if I holiday I go to decent caravan sites where I believe other caravaners wouldn’t break in to anothers caravan and when the van is in store its in a secure storage yard.
