Why Every Caravan Owner Should Consider a GPS Tracker in 2025

Discover how GPS tracking can protect your caravan from theft, help with location sharing, and provide peace of mind on the road. Ideal for Aussie travellers.

Keep Track of Your Home on Wheels – Wherever the Road Takes You

Your caravan is more than just a vehicle—it’s your home away from home, your weekend escape, or even your full-time lifestyle. Whether you’re off-grid in the outback or parked at a coastal caravan park, knowing exactly where your caravan is at all times can give you priceless peace of mind.

That’s where GPS tracking comes in.

🚨 Caravan Thefts Are on the Rise

In recent years, Australia has seen a steady increase in caravan thefts. Unlike cars, caravans can often be left unattended for days—or even months—making them a tempting target. A GPS tracker gives you the best chance of recovering your caravan quickly if it’s stolen.

And the faster you can track it, the more likely you are to get it back without damage.

📍 How Caravan GPS Tracking Works

A CoreGPS tracker is installed discreetly inside your caravan and wired into the 12V system. Once powered, it constantly monitors the caravan’s location and reports back to your phone or computer. You can:

And yes—a SIM card is included, and it connects to all major Australian networks to ensure the best possible coverage, no matter where you’re headed.

🛠️ Simple DIY Installation

Most caravan owners can install the CoreGPS tracker in under 15 minutes. All it takes is connecting the red and black wires to a constant 12V(or 24V) power source.

No specialist tools. No auto electrician. Just wire it in and go.

🔋 Minimal Power Draw – Ideal for Caravans

The tracker is designed specifically for vehicle and caravan use. It draws just milliamps of power and can safely remain running even when your caravan is parked or in storage. Many owners pair it with their solar system to keep their batteries topped up.

⚡ Bonus: Monitor Your Caravan’s Battery Voltage

One of the lesser-known features of GPS trackers like CoreGPS is voltage monitoring.

By default, the unit reads the voltage of the power it's connected to—typically your caravan’s onboard battery. This means you can remotely see:

  • Battery voltage at any time
  • Alerts if voltage drops too low (optional setup)
  • Trends in charging or discharging while you're off-grid

Whether your van is in storage or parked off the beaten track, it's a great way to avoid arriving to a flat battery.

📶 Always Online – Even When Stationary

Unlike battery-powered GPS trackers that may sleep for long periods to conserve power, a wired CoreGPS unit is always connected.

While your caravan is stationary, it automatically sends a heartbeat location update every 30 minutes. This lets you know the system is online and functional—not just “maybe working.”

If anything goes wrong—like a disconnected power source—you’ll know. No guessing. No surprises.

🔒 Your Data, Your Privacy – Hosted by Us, Right Here in Australia

Many GPS brands rely on overseas servers or resell a white-labeled tracking platform. Not us.

CoreGPS is different:

  • We operate our own servers
  • All tracking data is stored securely in Australia
  • Your data is never shared with unknown third parties
  • Our local team supports and maintains the platform directly

That means faster support, more reliability, and total transparency.

🏕️ Perfect for Touring Australia

Whether you're doing the Big Lap, travelling between parks, or parking up for the season, knowing where your caravan is—and how it’s doing—adds an extra layer of security and convenience. It’s like a digital tether to your most valuable asset on the road.
