Not only is your caravan valuable to you it's valuable to the ever increasing number of professional and determined gangs of thieves. So the security system for a caravan that you choose must be up to the job.
The choices of security products on the market is bewildering and to some extent undermined by the old fashioned reliance on hitch-locks, wheel-clamps and their like.
Our experience in the leisure market indicates that the determined thief views the conventional physical deterrents merely as an inconvenience. Virtually all of the caravans we have recovered have involved the bypass of at least one of these.
The facts show that if a gang of thieves decide to steal your caravan and it is protected in the conventional manner it will be stolen!

Caravan security essentially breaks down into two categories Prevention and Recovery. Prevention is taken to be such processes as using a secure storage area such as the Cassoa sites.
Stolen Caravan Recovery
Phantom manufacture a pair of tracking devices specifically designed for use with caravans. Specifically is important here because your caravan is unusual in a number of regards.
Phantom have two caravan tracking systems designed and priced for use with caravans: Phantom Target and Phantom ProActive.
Phantom Target for Caravans
The Phantom Target is a single, compact unit, fitted covertly inside your caravan, giving no clues as to its whereabouts.
The phantom target unit utilizes 24 orbiting GPS satellites to deliver accurate location information on demand to a dedicated call centre within moments of your theft being reported. This location along with the crime reference number obtained from the client is used to engage the services of the local police and gain recovery of the stolen caravan. As they require no special equipment of their own, the police can simply despatch the nearest officers. Recoveries, therefore, are swift and your caravan likely to be recovered in the same state as when stolen.
The phantom target unit is hidden in your caravan drawing the minimum of power from your leisure battery. It would take in excess of 6 months for the unit to drain an 85Ah battery so you can take comfort in the fact that while your caravan is in storage, or on site, it is still being protected.
Because the Phantom Target unit has a backup battery, the unit will still work if the thieves cut the main battery power to the caravan. Cutting power to the system will also alert our control centre, who will relay this information to the customer.
Phantom enjoys a good working relationship with the police who have always responded in a timely fashion.
The system costs £399 inc VAT and fitting.
There is a choice of annual or five year subscriptions at £99 and £349 respectively.
The Phantom Target systems are also the first in the UK to be Sold Secure 'Gold with Control Centre' approved giving caravan owners extra peace of mind.
The system is also 'Q Class Listed' by Thatcham - the industry standard for vehicle security.
Phantom ProActive for Caravans
The Phantom ProActive is a single, compact unit fitted covertly inside your caravan, giving no clues as to its whereabouts.
The Phantom ProActive device is able to communicate directly with the call centre and report on the status of the caravan it is protecting. This ingenious device monitors the caravan's alarm system and, should the alarm trigger, sends a message to the call centre carrying the location of the caravan. The call centre are thus able to phone you and confirm whether the alarm has been triggered by thieves or yourself.

If no alarm is fitted to the caravan you can still benefit from the rapidly communicating ProActive unit by having one of our tiny movement sensors fitted. This is hidden at the time of fitting the main unit and comes with a small switch. Thus you can switch the movement sensor on as you leave the caravan and switch it off when you wish to move it yourself. The movement sensors' sensitivity can be adjusted to meet your own caravan's individual requirements and would normally be set to trigger on the movement of the caravan itself rather than movement within the caravan, thus avoiding false alarm calls.
Because the Phantom Target unit has a backup battery, the unit will still work if the thieves cut the main battery power to the caravan. Cutting power to the system will also alert our control centre, who will again relay this information to the customer.
The unit is hidden in your caravan drawing the minimum of power from your leisure battery. It would take in excess of 6 months for the unit to drain an 85Ah battery so you can take comfort in the fact that while your caravan is in storage, or on site, it is still being protected.
Retail price £499 inc VAT and fitting, and a choice of annual or five year subscriptions at £99 and £349 respectively.
The motion sensor costs an additional £30 if required.
The Phantom Target systems are also the first in the UK to be Sold Secure 'Gold with Control Centre' approved giving caravan owners extra peace of mind.
The system is also 'Q Class Listed' by Thatcham - the industry standard for vehicle security.
