While RV sales may have declined from pandemic highs, it's still prime time for RV purchases and rentals. According to RV Industry Association President and CEO, Craig Kirby, "Interest in RVing remains high with full campgrounds this summer and a third of leisure travelers saying they would like to buy an RV."

With a projected 7.5% compound annual growth rate from 2021–2028, now it’s more important than ever for RV dealers to protect their investments. So how can RV dealers and owners easily keep their inventory safe? A GPS asset-tracking management system, powered by a battery-powered RV GPS tracker, which can make it affordable and efficient to track inventory, whether it’s on the lot or out on the open road. Let’s look at a few ways an RV GPS tracker and RV GPS app can help RV dealers and renters sleep better at night.

Manager your lot inventory with a RV GPS app

As you’re probably aware, inventory management is a primary concern for many RV dealers. Using mobile technology can make that process easier. 77% of dealers plan on using mobile technology to help manage their sales, service, payments and more. Using GPS vehicle-locator technology is a great way to protect your assets.

A GPS asset-tracking system can help you:

Easily locate RVs anywhere on the lot. Don’t miss out on sales, and make it easy to find the exact RV you need by adding an RV GPS tracker to your vehicles.
Track, manage and protect your RVs. Minimize your financial risk by being able to locate any RV with an RV GPS tracker. With your RV GPS app, you can easily find your financed or rented RV, so you know your investment won’t roll away from you.
Protect RV assets against extreme weather. Having an RV GPS tracker can also help you quickly find your assets and move them to a safe location when bad weather is on the horizon.

Protect against theft with an RV GPS tracker

RV theft has gotten worse. According to Gitnux, RV theft went up 30% nationwide between 2016 and 2020. It’s one more issue that can cut straight into your bottom line.

That’s why tracking your RVs with a battery-powered RV GPS tracker is a smart choice. A battery-powered GPS vehicle locater installs and activates in seconds for an easy set up. You can get an RV GPS tracker that is about the size of a deck of cards and hide it so it’s out of sight. Tuck it inside a seat or console, zip-tie it to bars or attach it with a magnetized case under the vehicle, so thieves are unaware that it’s there.

The PassTime GPS tracker is separate from an RV’s internal system, so it can’t be hacked at the same time as the RV's software. The combination of being able to hide the RV GPS tracker and operating outside the vehicle system gives you a huge advantage over potential thieves. If a vehicle is stolen, you can access the RV GPS app to track it, find it and get it back.

Monitor your rental RVs even when you’re not around

One of the major benefits of a GPS vehicle locator is peace of mind, knowing your RV is where you left it, even when you’re away. While it’s rented out, sitting in RV storage or is even halfway around the world, you can keep track of where it is.

GPS is a reliable way to track your assets but obstructions, such as parking garages, too many tall buildings or unreliable weather could cause a disruption in the GPS signal. Certain areas in the mountains, canyons or remote areas could be dead spots for a GPS signal.

That’s why having an RV GSP tracker with dual-location technology is a good idea. If the GPS fails, a cellular network can work as a backup to track its location.
