Owners of campers and motorhomes often face the nightmare of discovering that their vehicle is missing. To prevent theft, many turn to GPS trackers. These devices immediately alert the owner if the vehicle is unlawfully opened or moved, notifying them in real-time via app or SMS.
One example is the Trackiwi model, which impresses with its compact design and easy installation. With a 12-volt connection, the system can be quickly activated. Push notifications for vibrations or movements are sent within a minute. The built-in battery provides an independent operating time of up to 90 minutes in case the power supply is interrupted.
Another option is the Caratec Track CET1500T, which additionally features a geofencing function. This allows users to define a virtual area, and an alarm is triggered if the vehicle leaves this zone. Both systems utilize hardware from Teltonika, but the prices vary: Trackiwi costs 149 euros plus annual data fees, while Caratec starts at 499 euros for three years, including SIM and data volume.
Additionally, Thitronik offers the Pro-finder system with extensive security functions. It sends SMS alerts during an alarm and allows location inquiries. For 30 euros, an immobilizer can be added to stop the engine in case of theft. These systems demonstrate how connected technologies can make camping vehicles safer.
