My wife and I decided to buy a caravan for my 3 month sabbatical due next year (2021). Bought it last December but for obvious reasons haven't yet towed it.

Hallo. We've just bought our first ever caravan, a Swift Challenger 480 (single axle, twin-berth), and are facing the prospect of bringing it home as soon as the towbar is fitted to the car (BMW X3).

Hi all; Just wondering about the security of the caravan when on site. We will use a mixture of Club Sites and CL's and I was wondering if things like hitch locks and wheel locks should be fitted when sited. I can imagine that Insurance companies might prefer them to be but sites might not in case they need to move the van…
