What towing mirrors ? - Page 2

Over here all vehicles are registered. So the caravan has the same sort of identity as a car. Makes it very hard for the scumbags to move stolen caravans on as they can´t get the V5 for it. About only advantage in having it that way. Road tax and MOT every other year

All the windows are etched with a number.
The van was registered with CRIS.
But unless the thief wants to register his new aquisition with a view to insuring it there is no chance of finding it.
Not knowing much about the nicking industry, I have a feeling the thief wont be insuring it.
Probably keep it the garden for his kids to live in when they get out.
Is that out of prison or university.

Have you any photo's of your 'van?
Mebbe one of us may spot it on our travels, you never know..
Are there any distinguishing marks on it? Stickers etc..

Many thanks.

You may get the towing mirrors from x-part £30 for the pair. As for the Alko stabiliser, it should fit onto a swan neck..
