Forensic analysis of motorhome and caravan systems – The forensic use of electronic systems in motorhomes

In addition to the vehicle’s main propulsion system, motorhomes and caravans often feature additional electronic systems for body control, power supply or location tracking, which can leave their own digital traces.

Enquire without obligation

These systems differ, in some respects, significantly from the vehicle chassis itself in technical terms and are therefore examined separately.

Why LanCologne?

Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.

The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.

Our services

We examine both the vehicle chassis and the body-specific electronic systems of a motorhome or caravan for forensic data sources and back them up in a traceable manner.

Typical areas of application

•Reconstruction of driving data in motorhome accidents
•Investigation into theft or unauthorised use
•Troubleshooting technical faults in bodywork systems
•Supplementing analyses of location and usage data
•Judicial and non-judicial expert reports
•Collaboration with experts

This is how a motorhome/caravan assessment is carried out

Following a technical classification of chassis and body systems, available data from both areas is secured and analysed in a manner that is traceable for forensic purposes.

Why is the motorhome/caravan analysis relevant from a forensic perspective?

Looking at the chassis and bodywork systems separately allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the vehicle’s overall technical condition.

Particularly in the event of theft or unauthorised use, vehicle-specific tracking and alarm systems can provide important additional sources of data.
