Low Cost Vans

Unfortunately, van break-ins are becoming a common occurrence.

Below are a few tips on how to protect your van from thieves. Have adequate security measures fitted [ https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/van-break-ins-1-780x438.jpg ]  When buying a new van, or even if you have an existing van, make sure you have an alarm, an immobiliser, and deadlocks fitted in the vehicle. Also, fitting the van with a steering wheel lock or a handbrake lock will deter thieves from breaking in, as they don’t like to work hard or draw attention to themselves. You can also buy lockable fuel caps and wheel nuts which are cheap and effective. Have a GPS tracker installed ...

If you’d like to see a number of different cities, a caravan holiday is perfect for you. We’ve got some tips to make sure it’s the holiday of your dreams. Plan where you want to go [ https://www.practicalmotorhome.com/motorhome-travel-guides/overview ] This might sound obvious, but where you go will make a difference on what amenities you have access to.

Pump up the tyres If your tyres are under-inflated, they won’t roll as smoothly as they would if they were fully pumped. This means that your car has to wor...
