Insurance Approved Caravan Tracker | Thatcham S5 4G

When your insurer says “insurance approved tracker”, this is the level they mean: a Thatcham S5 certified caravan tracking system, supplied and fitted by Safe and Sound. With over 30 years of vehicle security fitting behind us, we install the S5 so it protects your caravan properly and satisfies your policy paperwork.

What Insurance Approved Actually Means

Not every GPS tracker earns the phrase. An insurance approved tracker has been independently tested and certified by Thatcham, the research body whose security certificates UK insurers recognise. For high-value caravans, many insurers now make an S5 or S7 level system a condition of cover, and fitting one can help your premium.

The S5 category sits above S7, adding automatic driver recognition: the system knows whether an authorised person is present when the caravan moves. Professionally monitored, certified tracking of this kind is the standard the UK aftermarket security industry is built on, supported by bodies such as TASSA.

How the S5 Protects Your Caravan

The tracker sits hidden and wired in, watching around the clock. Hitch up with one of your two driver recognition tags in your pocket and nothing happens: the system recognises you and lets you tour in peace. But if the caravan moves without a tag present, is lifted or towed, or someone interferes with the unit, the 24/7 UK monitoring team is alerted and the system automatically telephones you.

Confirm it is a genuine theft, give the team your police incident number, and they liaise directly with the police to track and recover your caravan while it is still moving.

• Movement alert without the ignition on, catching tow-away thefts as they happen
• Tamper alert if the unit is interfered with, plus low battery warnings
• Two automatic driver recognition (ADR) tags supplied
• 24/7/365 theft monitoring by a dedicated UK based team
• Insurance certificate issued after installation for your insurer’s records

Key Specifications

Which Level Do You Need?

If your policy simply asks for a Thatcham approved tracker, our S7 caravan asset tracker is a superb battery-powered option. If your insurer specifies S5, or you want driver recognition so the system can tell friend from thief automatically, this is the one. And if you need the vehicle itself immobilised without a tag, ask Safe and Sound about the S5 Plus, the next step up. Unsure what your policy requires? Bring us the wording and we will match you to the right system.

Fitted Discreetly by Safe and Sound

An S5 system is wired into the caravan, and where and how it is hidden makes all the difference to whether a thief can defeat it. Safe and Sound brings more than 30 years of security fitting experience to every installation: the unit concealed where nobody would look, wiring integrated invisibly, tags registered, and your insurance certificate sorted before we finish.

We will also set up the app with you, configure a geofence around your storage location and make sure everyone in the household who tows has a tag and a login.
