The Scorpion is Thatcham S5 or S5+ and is acceptable to insurance companies. I have an S5+ and it is costing me the equivalent of £105.80 per annum because I took out the 5 year option. Very pleased with it and it was convenient having it installed before I picked up the van.No.
Whatever the dealer is offering will be under specced and over priced.
Also your insurance company will probably insist on a Thatcham level alarm and immobiliser as well as a tracker.
Scorpion are not under specced and are Thatcham approved. They are as good as anything out there we have S5+ so remote immobiliser etc. And you don't seem to get issues and from experience customer service is great.No.

What most people do is arrange to get top of the range, a motorhome specific designed alarm/tracker/immobiliser, fitted by VanBitz.
They are based in Taunton.
Even if your dealer is in Scotland, it does not matter, you drive your brand new vehicle straight from the dealers forecourt to VanBitz, they have a campsite next door and and fit all you need in a day (Including solar panels, battery master, WiFi, gaslow systems etc etc.)

Manual here.I’ve got a Scorpion, I was impressed with them when it was dealer supplied.
I rather naively thought the dealer had paid the subscription for at least one year.
When I phoned Scorpion to check they suggested I wait a couple of days and then they could confirm if it had been paid, no point paying twice they said.
Surprise, surprise it hadn’t, as I said I was quite naive then.
Secondly, some months later got a call from Scorpion to inform me the battery had been disconnected. The vehicle was in the garage, I didn’t realise there was a setting to cover this eventuality.
I probably should have known but like most things now no manual and I was suffering from excitement, nerves and feeling swamped at getting a motorhome.
I now spend time looking back at my trips and checking status of my battery etc.
This is interspersed with looking at Motorhomefun!
We have the same, found Scorpion to be very helpful. I have checked the tracking on numerous occasions and found there are no gaps etc. Had Metatrak before with similar results......The Scorpion is Thatcham S5 or S5+ and is acceptable to insurance companies.
