Don't use a tracker but do use a GPS car tracker. Will send a text message if the van is moved and you can check where it is when you want to. No fees!

Unfortunately the original one I bought you can't get now as they have gone bust. I did get one from http://www.gsmalarmsystem.com/ 

I imported it from China. The model I got was S3544 http://www.gsmalarmsystem.com/ProductShow.asp?ID=578 If you email them they will tell you how much it will cost to send you one as a sample. Cost me £85. It is a bit of a fiddle to get it is but well worth it. You can send it a message and it will send back the co-ordinates so that you can put it in google. It will let you know if it moves but I haven't mastered that part yet!!!!

There are others on the market but they are expensive.

I wouldn't want a Tracker on a caravan, our last van was stolen off the drive early one morning & due to another stolen van having a Tracker in it, ours, along with several other stolen items was found within 5 hours & 30 miles away from here.

To be honest, I'd rather we never set eyes on it again, only because we remove all our soft furnishings when we're home, they only stole an empty box but, they broke into a very well secured van up the road from here & stole their cushions. They were so new, they still had the lables on them & the lady who owned that van was upset that the filthy scum had been sitting on her new cushions.

Sorry to go off the point a bit there but, I'd rather secure it better & not have a tracker fitted. I've got one fitted in my lorry but there's a considerable difference in the value of it & my caravan. That one cost me £750 for life of ownership, 24/7 monitoring & a call if it moves without the keys in. My mate has one in his & I'm a listed number for his tracker, I get a call every time his cab is tilted so they certainly work.

I believe Senator caravans come with them as standard now but the buyer still has to pay to activate the device.
