FOOD
STOPS CAN BE HOT SPOTS FOR CARAVAN THIEVES
Keep it....Klamp-it
(Release date: 19 April 2006)
CARAVANNERS
are being warned that a brief food or comfort stop could be all
the time a thief needs to unhitch and steal their caravan.
"Caravans
are increasingly being secured with a range of devices at home,
when in storage and on caravan sites but few drivers take any
precautions at all when they make brief stops en route. As a result,
service stations are fast becoming hot spots for caravan thieves,"
warn security specialists, Autolok.
Part
of the problem is that heavy duty wheel clamps used to secure
caravans at home can dramatically increase travelling weight,
forcing many families to leave them behind.
Autolok,
have a double solution - both of them lightweight options ideal
for touring caravans.
Their
first layer of defence against the caravan thieves is the Klamp-It
Hitchlock which is designed with two plates - one for use
in storage or on site and the second to enable the caravan to
be locked to the vehicle when hitched.
"The
hitchlock can be removed for travelling then quickly and simply
locked onto hitched caravans or trailers during comfort or overnight
stops," pointed out Dave Brearley, Autolok's managing director.
Costing
just £49.99 it is suitable for most popular types of pressed
steel hitch.
Autolok's
second layer of security for caravanners is the Klamp-It KWC
wheel clamp which folds for easy storage. Simple to fit with
an integral push-lock, it is available in four sizes to fit most
caravans and cars from small trailers to large cars and smaller
4x4 vehicles. It also costs £49.99.
Klamp-It
hitchlock and wheel clamps are part of a wide range of security
products that can be bought direct from Autolok, including security
posts, garage security and car steering wheel locks. Visit their
