The winter months can drive many of us to depression, as we sit at home and watch the rain bounce off the windows. So far this winter we seem to be having a bit of a dry spell and that’s good news if you’re a caravanning enthusiast. During these dry spells, our mobile, hardy ‘holiday makers‘ love nothing better than to hitch up their caravans and head off to find the nearest camping and caravanning meet and enjoy the wilds of Britain.
There are hundreds of thousands of caravans and motorhomes within our tiny Island. Granted, there not all on the road at the same time. But caravan weekend breaks are becoming hugely popular (it’s estimated to be around a £3 billion yearly industry). However, as with everything else in life there is a downside, for caravan owners are at an even greater risk from opportunistic theft. Most thieves see caravans as an easy target. Which makes caravan security a priority.
If you intend to head off this weekend in your Caravan, have a look at our vehicle security devices… These have been specifically chosen by us to help stop opportunistic thieves hitching up and driving away with your weekend home.







As we approach the winter holidays many people will be taking to the roads in order to spend time with their family, friends and loved ones over the festive period. Whilst every care has been taken to make sure that our roads (motorways, major and minor) are fit to travel, winter driving can be challenging for even the most experienced of motorists.
As we start to slide into winter, our thoughts turn to what might the weather hold for us this season. The past couple of years has seen the UK crippled by the coldest winters in 45 years and one forecaster, Anthony McEvoy (a long range weather forecaster), has predicted more of the same for the months of November, December and January ahead.
As we say goodbye to the last remnants of the summer sun, many caravanning enthusiasts will be busy preparing their mobile ‘home from homes’ to make them secure for winter storage. For some, they’ll use an open air storage site (a big field or concrete compound) or an undercover storage area (normally, a big warehouse) to use as a winter secure storage base. However, for many caravanners, the cheapest form of winter caravan storage is the home driveway.



One of the signs that summer is fast approaching has to be the sight of the white caravan being towed through our national road network. As the weather heats up, many caravan owners can be seen heading off for their traditional weekend breaks or even longer holidays, as this can often work out cheaper in comparison to paying for hotels and flights especially due to the credit crunch. Motorways, by-passes and then country roads often see convoys of these mobile ‘home from homes’ being towed. These slow moving vehicles are often blamed for traffic build up on our roads and are, therefore, often the target for road-rage.
In today’s uncertain economical climate and job insecurity, many households across Britain may be persuaded to ditch their annual foreign holiday and instead look to explore the delights of their own countryside. There are two ways of doing this, one is by camping where people simply pack up the car with the necessary equipment and head out to explore the ‘untamed wild’, the other is by caravan which is more sophisticated and a lot more comfier, in-fact caravanning holidays in Britain have seen a steady rise over the past couple of years as more and more people try this popular type of getaway.

With Summer nearly upon us, many of our young students will be considering what they’re going to be doing with themselves during their annual holiday. Some might find part-time work, others will barely venture out from under their duvet except for neccessities like food and batteries for their console controller but the more adventurous ones will be getting ready to set off on an age-old, student tradition – ‘ The Gap Year‘.
