SECURITY
Theft deterrent, prevention and security of your
touring caravan is taken very seriously at Elddis.
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.
CRIS - THE CARAVAN REGISTRATION
AND IDENTIFICATION SCHEME - VIN
CriS is the national register of UK manufactured
touring caravans and was established by the
National Caravan Council (NCC) in conjunction
with HPI Ltd.
All Elddis caravans are recorded on the CriS
database by their unique 17 digit Vehicle Identity
Number (VIN). This VIN and the caravan
description are recorded on the Touring Caravan
Registration Document, which is sent by CriS to
the caravan’s registered keeper.
Make a separate note of the number to keep safe
at home.
CriS issues Touring Caravan Registration
Documents which are the equivalent of the log
books issued by the DVLA for cars - the Touring
Caravan Registration Document confirms the
name of the registered keeper, the VIN and full
vehicle description.
Shortly after purchasing this caravan you should
receive your Touring Caravan Registration
Document. It will be sent by post to your home
address.
