Hitch locks are a great deterrent to the opportunist
thief as they prevent caravans from being quickly
coupled up and towed away. Some come with built
in tamper alarms which sound upon an attempt
to remove the device.
It may well be worth considering corner steady locks as well. These lock down the rear corner steadies of touring caravans - preventing the front of the unit from being raised. As a result of this anti-lift device, thieves cannot hitch the caravan to their towing vehicle.
As with wheel clamps, insurance companies insist on them being a minimum level of caravan security in order to validate an insurance policy, and should be used whenever the caravan is detached from your car.
