Description
North Wales Police said more than thirty motorhomes were taken in sixteen months without their genuine keys, mostly Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer based. Ciaran Doyle explains why the base under three in four British motorhomes keeps turning up on police lists, why so few stolen vans come home, and what actually slows the thieves down on your drive.
In this video:
- The North Wales thefts and the Perthshire week when four motorhomes went in four days
- Why the Ducato, and its Boxer and Relay twins, are such a target
- The DVLA van theft figures, and the van with the worst theft rate
- Cloned motorhomes, ports and why caravans have no plates of their own
- Why police struggle to find suspects, and the recoveries that worked
- The diagnostic port, and the two minute torch check for tomorrow morning
- Port locks, steering and pedal locks, cab deadlocks and S5 or S7 trackers
- The insurance security condition that cost one owner his claim
- Storage, CRiS and what to check when buying a used motorhome
General information only, based on what police and industry bodies had published in October 2026. Not legal or insurance advice. Your own policy wording counts, and security fitting is a job for a competent installer.
What's on your motorhome tonight: a port lock, a steering lock, a clamp, a tracker, or nothing yet? Tell me in the comments.
