security devices
Our Caravan Club insurance states, if 'van left unattended for more than 8 hours
it should be secured by either a hitchlock, wheel clamp, chain or tracking device though they don't appear to stipulate which or a quality of. Previously I have only used a hitchlock, usually just a locking pin in coupling head and a 'ball' filler. sometimes an outer guard 'box' lock too. With new van going to add a wheel clamp for improved visuals, and I believe it has an alarm fitted to the hitch lock already featured. Been looking at a tracking device, in Towsure, the Metis uses gps and texted you if movement occurs. Appears you can ask it if ok too which sounds handy, at £359 and no subscription needed other than topping up its sim card sounds reasonable especially if can get upto 25% off premium, key word upto! Any thoughts / users out there. Going for a simple to install ( quick ) clamp as recommended by Plank in the Bulldog Euro for ease at motorway stops, at home and on site.
