Stopping the theft of a van is nigh on impossible if thieves have time and determination, but all efforts to deter, slow them down and make disposing of the van more difficult must have some merit. For what amounts to the cost of two nights on a very cheap, or one night on pricier camp site, it's not going to break the bank to get the stickers/chip!
With an older van, it's probably worth more broken for parts than as a whole van, so not necessarily too much of a deterrent to a thief if they have no intention of ever trying to get the van back on the market. Obviously makes valuable parts like windows less saleable unless they go to trouble of removing stickers without damaging windows in the process.
My van was stickered/chipped from new, but can't say I have much faith in Police bothering to scan the chip as a routine check (they are supposed to be able to check the chip as you/they drive by on the road!), but may make it easier to return it if discovered in the hands of thieves.
Perhaps one advantage is a mostly hidden one, if/when you come to sell the van, it's easy for buyer to check you are legitimate owner and registered with CRIS as such.
Personally, I'm all in favour of stacking the odds against the scumbags every way I can.
