Buccaneer Security
Theft Deterrent, Prevention & Security of Your Touring Caravan or Motorhome
Security is taken very seriously by The Explorer Group. That is why we have provided a combination of standard features & optional extras designed to deter & prevent thieves from stealing your vehicle. And in the unlikely event that they should succeed, aid the identification & speedy recovery of your investment & assist in the prosecution of the thief.
Concealed data chips
Every Explorer Group touring caravan and motorhome comes with concealed data chips. This not only deters theft, but will also help lead to the successful prosecution of the thief & the recovery of your stolen valuables.
Robstop WS3000 (Available from your retailer)
The Robstop WS3000 hitchlock is made of high-grade steel alloy with a cylinder lock. It is very simple to operate & prevents unauthorised coupling & disconnection. It also prevents dismantling of the coupling itself. The safety ball covers the ball headroom of the WS3000 creating an additional means of protection.
Anti-Wind Corner Steadies
The rear corner steadies on all Explorer Group touring caravans have a special cowling that allows for the precise positioning of a security bolt. Once the corner steadies are down, the bolt is put in place & padlocked. This prevents the potential thief from being able to lift the corner steadies making it extremely difficult to tow the vehicle away.
CRiS - The Caravan Registration & Identification Scheme
CRiS is the national register of UK manufactured touring caravans. Established by the National Caravan Council (NCC) in conjunction with HPI Ltd. All Buccaneer caravans are recorded on the CRiS database by their unique 17 digit Vehicle Identity Number (VIN). This VIN & the caravan description are recorded on the Touring Caravan Registration Document, which is sent by CRiS to the caravan's registered keeper.
CRiS issues Touring Caravan Registration Documents which are the equivalent of the log books issued by the DVLA for cars - the Touring Caravan Registration Document confirms the name of the registered keeper, the VIN & full vehicle description.
Electronic Tagging
In conjunction with the CRiS registration scheme, all Buccaneer touring caravans are electronically tagged during manufacture for added security & ease of vehicle identification.
Window Etching & Chassis Marking
The VIN number is stamped onto the chassis of the touring caravan & etched onto all of the windows acting as a further deterrent.
Autowatch Alarm system
The Autowatch Alarm system is fitted as standard on all Explorer Group models.
This system is designed to give years of trouble free operation. Made with only the highest quality components & using state of the art technology you can be assured that your caravan has the best electronic protection available.
Each caravan alarm is installed with a Passive Infrared Detector (PIR), a wireless sensor that detects movement in the caravan & transmits a radio signal to the alarm module. If the alarm is on the siren will sound. A leg sensor, fully sealed against dust & water, detects if the corner stabilising leg is being raised or lowered & transmits a coded radio signal to the alarm. Additional sensors can be purchased from your retailer to enhance security.
