Side windows are a common entry point for thieves. A well-aimed brick or screwdriver to the window seal, and they are inside.

Recommendation

For campervan side windows, security film is the best option. It is invisible, cheap, and makes the glass significantly harder to break. Grilles are overkill unless you park in high-risk urban areas.

Options

  • Security film: Clear polycarbonate film applied to window interior. Makes glass harder to break. £20-40 per window.
  • Internal grilles: Steel bars fixed to the window frame inside. Visible deterrent. £30-60 per window.
  • Window locks: Catch-style locks at the window hinge. Prevent window being pried open. £10-20 per window.
