I didn't know caravans were chipped, and maybe a lot more people who have not bought a new van wont know either....
I've never seen it advertised that they put a identity chip in the van somewhere.... but i have found this out....
A number of companies can embed a small microchip into your caravan structure, which can be found by a scanner. As of mid-2004, over 60,000 caravans have been tagged, making it harder for thieves to dispose of stolen 'vans and increasing the likelihood of stolen caravans being returned to their rightful owners.
All caravans built since 1997 have a Radio Frequency Tagging chip (RFID) fitted at manufacture. This technology has improved on shortfalls in CRIS technology (see below), as RFID chips are easier for the authorities to locate.
