Caravan and Trailer Security

Heading off in search of an adventure? Or trying to learn how to set up camp? Or maybe going for a bit of a weekend getaway? Either way, once you've planned where you're going, you need to tick off on a few essential items - clothes, food, GPS, and loads of water. But have you thought much about your caravan and trailer security?

If you are unsure of what this involves, this is the perfect quick cheat sheet to get you prepared!

With Secure Your World, together we can help make your adventure a great success and make your caravan more secure.

GPS Vehicle Tracker

The Australian outback can at times, be unforgiving. What happens if you bust your tires or run a leak? This is where a GPS Tracker can become a complete lifesaver and avoid having you on the state's missing list.

Whilst you may have an operational phone, telling the nearest help where you are can be difficult. Install this RhinoCo Vehicle Tracker and an awesome feature is it comes with an SOS button, so you can now feel at ease throughout your entire journey, no matter what little hiccup arises.

This is certainly a must-have item for every outback adventurer.


Hitch Locks

If you have a hitch bar and towing a caravan or trailer, then hitch pin locks should absolutely be in your adventure kit. These tools prevent someone from easily removing your caravan or trailer from your vehicle and towing it away. The Kovix KVH-96 Alarmed Trailer Coupling Lock keeps your tow securely attached to the removable tow ball, trailer or caravan hitch.

What about for those times you want to keep your caravan or trailer separate from your vehicle? There's a security device for that too! Simply attach the Trailer Cop to your caravan or trailer's coupler and expand it with the provided key. It will prevent anyone from attempting to hook it up and tow it away.

Caravan Doors

When was the last time you checked the security of the doors to your caravan? Can you easily lock the door? Is the lock firm or does it feel a little bit flimsy? If you have already tried to do a repair job on the lock and it still isn't working right, replacing the lock (or even the lock set) is the next step. The Whitco Caravan door lock or the Lock Focus Camec door lock is the perfect fit for those compact spaces.


Floor Anchors

Now that you have everything that you need to make your holiday or weekend getaway a great success, have you given thought to the security of your prized possession for when it's parked at home? Sure, you can store it in the garage, but what if it doesn't fit? The next option is to leave it in the driveway. So get yourself a solid floor anchor. The Xtratec Anka Loop lays completely flat on the floor, so you can still drive comfortably over it when it's not in use. Pair this with a tough coil steel cable. Another option includes the ABUS floor mount, which is best paired with a chunky steel chain.

Don't forget to ensure that your driveway spotlights are working so as to deter any would-be thieves.



Get the best in all things caravan and trailer security and you'll have the peace of mind knowing that your road trip will be one to remember for all the good reasons.
