Campsites and caravan sites are vulnerable too , it’s very easy to get relaxed about leaving keys around on site or van unlocked. We witnessed travellers on a site last weekend in Mansfield, later that day someone’s van was taken and they just drove it through the barrier ( aluminium pole ) just snapped off like a stick 😮
Hi there I went to the show as a 1st-time buyer for a used motorhome what a letdown it was all stalls was told there was going to be over 500 motorhome but I've now got one £26k 29.000 miles 1 owner so we're going away this weekend to try it out fingers crossed but you do a good show
I had hydraulic self levelling on my motorhome and it’s great to protect from theft if you deploy it and then pull the fuse which is hidden away as well……try and and pinch it now!
On regards to EV charging at campsites I would say don’t offer any charging at all. Has anybody heard of a campsite that offers refuelling of petrol or diesel? So if you have an EV charge it somewhere else.
That’s certainly an interesting comment! I think at the moment tho many campsites and consumers see an EV charge point as a benefit and reason to book. But I guess if there is EV charging nearby it would t be necessary
Would you keep receipts for clothes, footwear etc for Insurance claim proof? As your personal items can be worth a small fortune these days, especially designer items 🤔 Regards Simon in Cannock . . .
It's funny you say that though Matt as I'm never more happier to run round in my orange crocs or my Next slippers, but the wife won't let me go to the pub in them 🤷♂️ Saying that my pal's the Arbo's wear Louis Vitton studded boots or trainer's 🤣 I'm not sure even Caravan Guard would cover those at £500 a pop do you 🙈

They are great if you can afford to have them installed, so many useful features!
Are 5th wheels less likely to get knicked?
I would have thought so given the specialist vehicle required to tow
One of your very best podcasts, full of priceless information......great stuff guys.
Much appreciated! That’s very kind. Thanks for watching and commenting
Caravan Guard said I needed a tracker on a 50k van so not sure where the 65k comes from? I live in rural north oxon away from motorways

This is really useful! 🔷 THANK YOU!
Thank you. It was a good one to record! Lots of useful info in it

Designer items?! If you wear them and keep them in the ‘van’ then go for it! The closest I would get are clothes by Crocs and happy socks!

Putting a cover on would stop your solar from working
Yes unless you had one made to reveal the panel. A cover does have other benefits too. Tree sap, dirt, prying eyes all kept at bay
I would never buy something of that value, I have a self build which does everything I need. Show off and pay the price...
Thanks for commenting. Enjoy your van!
@@MotorhomeMatt There are stats which show what value of vans are targeted by thieves. For me it is all about sailing under the radar.
@@allanb52 yes that’s right in fact this has been mentioned by Caravan Guard - typically £30k to £50k. Easier to sell I guess for £25k
Hold onto your cash USED MOTORHOMES going down on price 2024.
What’s your basis for this? Would be interested to hear!
Any evidence to back up your assertion?
Evidence?
