Its not the cost that I'm concerned about, it ease of useMaybe spend a few more pounds
Growler and non starter is good enough for me

If cost is not an issue, go for the comprehensive VanBitz Raptor system.
The operation is little different between the systems. Raptor gives you the full package and a good price with the MHF discount.
Unless you’re planning on leaving the van unattended in a seriously bad spot for theft and crime it’s more than enough imho.

I'm really considering one of these, there's some amazing offers. I'm guessing you now have it, I was wondering your initial thoughts and whether you'd recommend ?I pick up my new Wildax Altair in a weeks time. currently looking at alarms systems. Is Strikeback and Shadow VTS enough? Trying to keep it simple as my travel buddy is very anti tech
I went with Raptor in the end.. expensive but hopefully I’ll never have to find out how good it actually is!Offroamin , as above, what did you go with?
I went with the all singin all dancin’ Raptor in the end. It has the Growler alarm along with Tracker and Immobiliser. Haven’t stayed in the van since I had it installed… hope I remember to turn off the internal screecher!I'm really considering one of these, there's some amazing offers.

The Scorpion S5 plus is a very good product that integrates tracking with an immobiliser. It works exactly as starquake says.I'd spend on the immobiliser, it integrates with tthe tracker software these days, and it's just a toggle switch, and if it's on, even with the keys you can't start the van. You need either your phone with their software OR to remotely toggle the switch for the van to start.
It's more piece of mind to us when parked up than any other visable deterrant..
It is really really easy to use and a big improvement on the previous system which in itself was excellent. Now the non starter is automated plus it can be doubled with an additional manual setting on the phone app, so even if some toe rag nicks the keys it still won’t start. Meta systems back up is superb as well, better than some one man bandI went with the all singin all dancin’ Raptor in the end. It has the Growler alarm along with Tracker and Immobiliser.

Hello.I pick up my new Wildax Altair in a weeks time. currently looking at alarms systems. Is Strikeback and Shadow VTS enough? Trying to keep it simple as my travel buddy is very anti tech
I went with Comfort for my insurance, they gave 28 days to get the tracker installed. They didn’t seem interested in the immobiliser or alarm.Hello.
I hope you're enjoying life with your new van.
In a year or two, I'll be in the same position as you were earlier this year. A couple of weeks ago I ordered a new Malibu 600DBK, (it could be two years before I take delivery). I too want to go down to Vanbitz and have the Raptor system installed, along with a comprehensive Victron Energy system. While I'm waiting for my van, I'm trying to work out what else I did and how to do it.
I'm thinking of getting everything fitted at Vanbitz the day after it's delivered. Can I ask, when it comes to insuring the van, I need to get it from Kempsey to Taunton without the Raptor. Do insurance companies allow a small period of grace between delivery and fitting the alarm?, as I want to policy based on having an alarm, tracker and engine immobiliser fitted.

I can recommend Comfort. Apart from prices that are usually competitive, their claims service works wellThank you. That another question off the list. Comfort insurance, I'll Google them and look at the reviews. I'm really looking forward to going down to Vanbitz, hopefully in the not too distant future. All I've read about them is good stuff.
I've just been looking at their site and bookmarked them. At the very least, I'll phone them when the time is right. I like the fact they specialise in motorhomes and campervans.I can recommend Comfort. Apart from prices that are usually competitive, their claims service works well
Caravanguard is who we use, similarly gave us 16 days post van pickup to get to Vanbitz and install tracker. Standard terms on 50K plus. You get additional discount with them for the Strikeback alarm too.I've just been looking at their site and bookmarked them. At the very least, I'll phone them when the time is right.
