Stay secure with Yale's top tips

Yale’s security experts have come up with some top tips for motorhome and caravan owners to help keep their valuables safe and secure.

Follow Yale's simple advice below to ensure your motorhome or caravan holiday doesn't end in tears...

Keep it safe

Caravans and motorhomes are an attractive proposition to thieves, as they are often left unattended while you enjoy a holiday location all day long.

Have you thought about getting a portable travel safe that can be attached to any fixed objects in your vehicle?

Yale offer a slimline safe, which is large enough to hold your spending money, jewellery and small electrical goods, yet compact enough to take around with you.

Keep it locked

If you’re travelling with bikes or outdoor equipment, make sure you keep them safe, too. Not only are they highly visible to potential thieves when left outside your motorhome or caravan, but they are often neglected when it comes to security. Using a secure padlock and chain will keep your bikes safe and deter opportunist thieves.

Yale offers a range of bike locks that can be opened with keys or a combination code. The range also includes a U-shaped lock, which provides protection against saws and bolt cutters, and includes a unique cover cap that prevents the lock from rusting.

Make your mark

It is important to mark your valuables with an indelible ink or ultra-violet security marker. It is also worth keeping an up-to-date list of serial numbers of all the high value items in your caravan or motorhome.

These two simple actions can help police identify your property and make it easier to prove ownership in court.

Make a saving

Not only does a secure motorhome or caravan give you peace of mind, it can also save you money on your insurance premium.

When looking for motorhome or caravan insurance, shop around, as many companies will offer discounts for security measures such as intruder alarms, hitch locks and wheel clamps, as well as for using insurance approved security products.
