How CRiS Operates

CRiS operates in a similar way to the DVLA for cars, providing you with the benefit of a registration document and a record of ownership of your caravan. With its unique industry connections, CRiS also maintains information relating to any interest held by finance and insurance companies - essential should your caravan become part of the national theft statistics.

Swift Group caravans not only carry the unique 17 digit CRiS Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) die stamped into the chassis, but windows are also etched with the VIN and an electronic tag embedded within the bodywork for extra security. Only the police and enforcement agencies have direct access to the location of the tag and the means to read the VIN programmed within it.

Specialist insurance companies increasingly require registration with CRiS before granting cover and when you come to sell your caravan your CRiS registration will prove invaluable. Not only does CRiS offer you all the benefits of registering yourself as the owner, but it offers opportunities for prospective purchasers, both trade and public, to check out the legitimacy of a used caravan offered to them for sale. Caravan thefts do occur, so owners can’t afford to take any risks. It is essential for anyone looking to buy a caravan to invest in security.
