petrol/diesel Fumes
The fitting of a tail pipe extension to your
car exhaust will reduce the possibility of
fumes entering your caravan through the
ventilation points.

LPG systems and appliances except by qualified
persons at an authorised Swift Group dealership.

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.
chassis number
Record your caravan chassis number which
can be found on the front offside section of the
drawbar (Fig. A) or any of the eye level windows.
Make a note of this number in the space
provided at the front of this handbook and
make a separate note of the number to keep
safe at home.

additional security
Consider fitting any device which might deter or
prevent intrusion by thieves.
A hitch lock cover prevents towing of the caravan.
A wheel lock prevents towing of the caravan
and removal of the wheel.
Customers are advised to identify their caravan
with a method for subsequent identification if
other forms of identification have been altered
or removed.
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.
security chips
A special security chip is concealed within the
body of every caravan. This chip contains the
individual identity of your caravan and can only
be read by using a special decoder.
Your local police can obtain the use of a
decoder by contacting C.R.I.S. on telephone
no: 01722 411430
caravan insurance
It is recommended that the caravan and its
contents should be insured against theft.
It is essential to check with your car insurance
company to ensure you are covered when
towing your caravan.
