SECURITY
SECURITY
Theft deterrent, prevention and security of your
touring caravan is taken very seriously at The
Explorer Group Limited. That is why we have
provided a combination of standard features and
optional extras designed to deter and prevent
thieves from stealing your property. And in the
unlikely event that they should succeed, aid the
identification, speedy recovery of your property
and assist in the prosecution of the thief.
Caravan Theft
The theft of a caravan can occur in the most
unlikely circumstances; from a motorway service
area, even from an owner’s driveway. Secure all
windows and doors when your caravan is
unoccupied, even if only for a short length of time.
MICROTAG©
Supplied as standard with
every Xplore touring
caravan, MicroTag© is an
innovative and
technologically advanced
property tracing system that
can be easily applied to all
your valuables. Marking your
property with Microdots not
only deters theft, but will also help lead to the
successful prosecution of the thief and the
recovery of your stolen valuables.
Why Use Microdots? - In order for the Police
to successfully prosecute, it is necessary to
identify the true owner of stolen property.
Marking your property with Microdots is the
easiest way to ensure your valuables are quickly
identified.
You can Microdot all kinds of property against
theft including your touring caravan, motor
vehicles, televisions, bicycles, jewellery, in fact
anything of value to you, that will also be of value
to a thief.
In the event of theft the police can locate the
MicroDot by using an ultra violet light. The
MicroDots are then read using a MicroDot
reader, or a conventional microscope. Each
MicroDot is laser etched with a free phone
helpline and your own unique number which is
registered on the International Security Register
which is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Please consult the instructions provided inside
the Microtag box.
ANTI-WIND CORNER STEADIES
The rear corner steadies on all Xplore touring
caravans have a special cowling that allows for the
precise positioning of a security bolt. Once the
corner steadies are down, the bolt is put in place
and padlocked. This prevents the potential thief
from being able to lift the corner steadies making
it extremely difficult to tow the vehicle away.
Owners are advised to purchase good quality,
extended loop padlocks in order to secure them.
The padlock is not supplied by The Explorer
Group Limited.
