trackers would only help after the event, do very little to stop people removing your item
No security devices can stop caravans being stolen - Today's range of portable grinders and cutting tools can/will remove any high tensile lock, chain or device in seconds.
Professional thieves will drag van up on to tilt tray in less than one minute.
Monitored tracking devices have a chance of locating whereabouts of caravan - immediate Police attention is required (Hen's teeth comes to mind). Magistrates are needed to sign off on warrants - it gets messy - Here's where Texas Rules would be handy.
Best advice is to purchase a good insurance policy that would cover a total loss of caravan and all contents.
When storing caravan, fit good security locks, place van in difficult area to load onto tilt tray - lengthy storage remove tow hitch and all wheels including spare. (store these in separate unseen area).

Bosch 10.8v angle grinder 76mm disc cuts 2.5" x 1/8 galvanized steel pipe in 120 seconds for the first cut all the way through. About 6cm square of cross sectional area.
Just think how quick a 125mm angle grinder will cut through!

I think everyone already knows that. What ever you do is just a deterrent. That's why we have Insurance.

It was only when I actually cut something I then realised just how quickly something with a large cross sectional area can be cut.
You need seriously heavy sections & multiple systems. Put it on blocks & deflate the tyres.

It is good to see that the OPs question was actually answered but it is also good that the supplier that Nevd suggested is also a sponsor of this very forum.

It is not quite true that it works everywhere. It needs access to a phone network in order to report its position. In a remote area without any mobile phone carriers available it cannot report its position.
It generally uses the GPS signal to ascertain its location, but In the case that the Solid GPS Tracker is unable to acquire a GPS lock, it will locate the closest cell tower and a larger circle will appear on your dashboards map. Allowing you to narrow down the search until the device is able to acquire a GPS signal.
Solid GPS utilises 550 different mobile carriers, switching between them when it detects a better network signal. It is able to switch between the 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G cellular networks automatically.
