How a CRiS check works

  • Find the 17-digit CRiS number, etched on the windows and stamped on the chassis.
  • Buy a CRiS check to confirm the registered keeper and specification match the caravan.
  • The check can flag a caravan recorded as stolen or on finance.

Cost

A CRiS check is a paid service from CRiS (cris.co.uk). Pricing changes, so check their site for the current fee. It is the right tool for a touring caravan, where a motorhome-style check does not apply.

Verify the number

Check that the CRiS number etched on the windows matches the one on the chassis and the paperwork. Mismatched or missing numbers are a warning sign of theft or a ringed caravan.
