We know buying a used caravan is every bit as risky as buying a used car, that’s why we carry out a CRiS check on every caravan we have for sale before it goes on to our forecourt.
Just as with a car, if you were to buy a caravan that is on finance or stolen you may not be legally entitled to keep it – you could lose the caravan and even the money you paid for it.
A CRiS Check will not only confirm the caravans true identity, but will also reassure you of the provenance of the caravan you are interested in and will reveal if the caravan is subject to an HP agreement, reported stolen or been recorded as an Insurance Write-Off. In addition CRiS will be able to confirm if the ‘seller’ is currently recorded with CRiS as the current keeper.
The Caravan Registration and Identification Scheme (CRiS) is the national register of touring caravans, which was established in 1992 by the National Caravan Council in conjunction with HPI. CRiS helps prevent and detect crime and acts as a security check for dealers and private caravan buyers.
We carry out this check, and when we sell the caravan to you we transfer ownership of it to you, allowing you to apply for a document, a little like you have for your car. Many insurance companies now require customers to provide a valid CRiS number before providing adequate cover.
It only takes a few minutes, but it could prevent a lot of heart ache in the long run – don’t buy without the security of a check!
