WINDOW ETCHING & CHASSIS
MARKING
The VIN number is stamped onto the chassis
of the touring caravan and etched onto all of
the windows acting as a further deterrent.
Your Touring Caravan Registration Document
will include a 17 character VIN (Vehicle
Identification Number), shown in the top right
-hand corner. This 17 character VIN will be
die- stamped into the caravan drawbar and
chemically etched on up to a maximum of 10
eye level windows. To protect yourself and
your touring caravan, never leave the
Registration Document in the caravan. For
security reasons keep it in a safe place.
If you sell the caravan please follow the
instructions on the Touring Caravan
Registration Document.
Please note: If you do not receive a Touring
Caravan Registration Document, lose it, or
any of the details recorded are incorrect,
please contact: CRIS - PO Box 445,
Aldershot GU11 9FS. Telephone: 0203
2821000.
Spare windows stencils can be found in your
owners information pack for use if you ever
need to order a replacement window.
ELECTRONIC TAGGING
In conjunction with the CriS registration
scheme, all Elddis touring caravans are
electronically tagged during manufacture for
added security and to ease vehicle
identification. The security tag containing the
individual identity of your caravan is
concealed within the caravan body and can
only be read by using a special decoder.
Please note: Your Local Police Can Obtain
The Use Of A Decoder By Contacting
C.R.I.S. on Telephone No. 0203 2821000.
ADDITIONAL SECURITY
Consider fitting any device which might deter
or prevent intrusion by thieves. For example:
A wheel lock will prevent towing of the
caravan and removal of the wheel.
FREE CRIME PREVENTION advice about
securing your caravan, protecting your
valuables, property marking, either at home
or whilst on site, can be obtained from the
Crime Prevention Officer through your local
Police Station.
