Some caravans come fitted with a tracker system as standard which is activated by a key fob (basically the same as a car alarm but you know that your caravan can be tracked). Our Bailey caravan has one fitted and it does give you peace of mind as you know that if your caravan is stolen it can be traced and recovered very quickly. You will, however, have to pay a yearly subscription fee but insurers may give you a discount for having a tracker fitted. If you buy a Bailey Senator the first year's subscription comes included in the price of the caravan.
All caravans manufactured since August 1997 are electronically tagged. A passive tag is one which allows the police to read the caravan's CRIS VIN number (chassis number). An active tag is one which will alert the owner or an agent to the theft of the caravan and will then provide feedback via a satellite as to where the caravan has been taken (basically the same as a tracker system).
This is just a short introduction to the world of caravan alarms! There are lots on the market and whichever you choose, remember that it will cost a lot less than a new caravan and will give you peace of mind. The more security devices you add the safer your caravan will be.
