We have the Phantom alarm and tracker. Had it fitted when the caravan arrived new at the dealer back in Feb 2013. I’m now on the second, five year subscription deal. It was a £150 saving to take it out for five years and I get a 5% insurance discount for an alarm and 5% for a tracker. Accidentally set the alarm off one day on site and Phantom was quick to respond by phone. Great video. Cheers Rob 👍
Just watched your part 1 and very interested in all aspects of your video. We had our battery stolen from the storage yard witch I did a video on so I will be ramping up our security you can never be to complacent with security and your caravan this I've found out to our cost. Great video waiting on part 2 now 😆.... cheers Paul
Some good products talked about. If they want your caravan enough it will be stolen. But as you said any security device that will cause damage or need to make noise or slow the theft down may make them move on to a easier target. Thanks for sharing
Hi pal I’ve got a phantom alarm and tracker fitted and have to say it’s fantastic If your thinking of getting a phantom if you mention I recommend you to them you will get either 3 or 6 months subscription for free, better than a kick in the arse pal
Hi Ian. Really sad that you've had this awful experience - really dents your confidence a bit that some **** would stop so low and upset you both. Really good advice on security precautions - even if it doesn't totally protect from these people, it might at least discourage them or slow them down and make your van less of a target. Hope this never happens again and you're both over it soon. Best wishes for a lovely Christmas and a "trip-filled" New Year. Take care. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs
I just watched your vid on the purple line twin axle Gemini lock from a year ago I think it looks really secure . I no insurance company's are picky is it still viable do think
I am not sure what the latest is on testing and gold rating. All I can say is, I am using it as extra security, it feels really heavy and strong with titanium locks and locking nuts. It is very easy to fit once your used to it. Would I trust it on it's own.... well maybe once I know it's passed the gold secure testing.

Thanks Rob... a tracker is on my list to buy.
Great information Ian especially for new caravan owners.
Thanks Colin... if it helps someone then that's great.
Great information on this video! Well done
Great info. I hope the wife watches the video we need to upgrade some things.
Cheers Stephen. I am of the opinion... why make it easy for them. Put on what you can, at the end of the day this is your hard earned money.

Sorry to hear that. I think we all get a little complacent at times. Hope this works as a reminder for us all to be vigilant. Part 2 on Tuesday 7pm.
Great Advice Ian for all caravaners. Looking forward to part 2
Cheers Mark... Part 2 Tuesday 14th 7pm.
We have a barn door on our caravan, I bought one exterior lock and fitted it to cover the join of the door
Hi John... just felt the two would be better. The main thing for me is to make Clare feel better. She is really upset by it all.
@@ForTheLoveOfCaravans I understand

Indeed... I have the opinion of why make it easy for them? If they want make the scum work for it.

Hello Ian. This great info. Sadly break ins and theft of Caravan are becoming regular these days due to the lack of spares and Vans. Thanks Phil👍🙂
