The UK caravan and motorhome register. New, and built in the open: it grows as owners and providers add to it.
CARAVANREGISTER

Guide

Your caravan or motorhome has been stolen. Do this, in this order.

Five steps. The flag on this register is step three, not step one.

1. Police

Call 101, or 999 if it is happening now. Get the crime reference number. Nothing else works without it: insurers, CRiS, storage sites and this register all ask for it.

2. Insurer, and CRiS for a caravan

Tell your insurer the same day. Give them the crime reference. For a touring caravan, tell CRiS the same day too, so the theft sits on the industry register that every buyer's CRiS Check reads. Ask your insurer whether they will place a flag on this register, and if they are not yet a provider, tell them the address of the provider portal.

CRiS, the industry register

3. Flag it here

Sign in, open the caravan or motorhome, and press Report stolen. Type the crime reference and where and when it was taken. From that minute every free check and every paid report on that number shows the flag, with the date. When it is found, clear the flag yourself. The history stays.

4. The number, everywhere it is written

Send the 17 character number, the plate if it has one, and photos to dealers and storage sites in your area. A stolen caravan is often given new windows, because the number is etched into every one. A window that is newer than the rest is the sign a buyer looks for, so tell them.

5. The adverts

Watch the online marketplaces for the next few weeks. Stolen caravans and motorhomes are sold on fast, often with a price that is too good. The number is the thing that does not change, and it is the thing every check here looks for.
