probably wont have that number plate on and will be parked waiting for tracker check

 

[Brains]

Alarm ?
Immobiliser ?
Tracker ?
Steering or clutch lock?

As a London based motorhome owner I usually have all 4 activated most of the time (plus basic locks of course).
Certainly if left overnight unattended anywhere, it would have all 4 .

Even on a campsite if I lock it, then I also alarm it.

Obviously nothing is going to keep the professional thief out, but you want to do everything you can to encourage them to target another van as it appears to be easier.r

 

[Oldrat]

My van lives in view on my driveway when we are at home.
So this is my latest purchase..

Should be OK. Our son's the registered keeper & policyholder, with us as named drivers, insured to be kept at that address. BTW if any other Funsters out there need expat insurance in the UK, we found ours through Keith Michaels in Surrey. Will post feedback on claims process. Proof of the pudding and all that...

All but the tracker... Quiet suburban street during the day.

Friends of mine had a wheel clamp on the front and a steering lock and the MoHo was still nicked, the thieves used a tow truck, lifted it up at the front popped the side window released the handbrake and drove off.

Ta. Mine is on the rear, and pretty awkward to access

I also have other measures and never rely on just one.

One distinguising (posible) feature between another van would be the awning on the roof going about 300mm past the opening of the side door
So many on the road fall short

A couple of other distinguishing features as well, but not going to mention them here...

Wheel clamps always better fitted on rear. Stops lifting the front to tow.

Posted on my FB page. A fair wee distance, but worth trying. I hope you have good news very soon.

That's the better solution ....

They will always find a way if they want it. Hope it comes back soon in one piece
