Combat Caravan Crime
Before buying a caravan check with CRIS, the Caravan Registration and Identification Scheme, to ensure that the seller is the registered keeper. CRIS is run for the National Caravan Council by leading vehicle information provider HPI, and can tell you if the caravan you are thinking of buying has outstanding finance recorded against it, has been written-off by an insurance company, or is currently recorded as stolen. Owners of all UK-Manufactured caravans can now apply for their caravan to be CRIS registered and electronically tagged. Call 01722 411430 for details or visit their website.
Safe Towing
Over a period of many years, a great deal of knowledge and experience has been accumulated about caravan towing. Take a look at the National Trailer and Towing Association web site for information that will help drivers to ensure that their towing vehicle and caravan do not present a danger on the roads.
