Tracker for Insurance for Campers/Motorhomes.

[Mhambi]

Ive just renewed my insurance on my Expedition Truck and need to install at minimum a Cat S7 Tracker.
Are there any preferred companies to use that don't cost an arm and a leg? I've been looking on the interweb and the prices are all over the place.
They seem to start at £150 and go to £1000.

Your location says you are in Cape town so you need to check what is available there, but for insurance purposes you would need to consider a provider such as Vodaphone / Tracker, Tracker (or similar) that provides a 24/7 help desk etc

We have been using Rewire Security tracker on all our vehicles for years.
Give them a ring as they are very approachable and knowledgeable of their products and the tracker sector as I suspect some areas you are likely to travel through may not be trackable due to phone service coverage.

Thatcham GPS Tracking Systems are able to initiate level 1 police response in the event of a theft attempt or tampering with the vehicle.

Interesting you need a provider that can cover all those countries many will cover the UK and europe but once out of Europe the company needs to be able to have the links with the local law enforcement. along with the data sim needs network coverage in each country you visit easy in Europe but you need something that will follow you to south africa. You might want to call a few companies like Vodafone or Tracker, I am sure there are others but at least you will get some good advise about coverage

The immediate concern is for the next 18 -24 months travelling and being insured in Europe. After that I suppose ill move the insurance to a South African company.

Due to the value of our MH we had to have a tracker fitted for insurance although an alarm wasn't required but we got it thrown in as part of the purchase deal (FOC) so were happy with it:

Tracker: SmarTrack Protector Pro Global TQA453 - it cost £199 to have fitted and £399 for a lifetime subscription.

Alarm: Autowatch 695 (canbus) - we've had versions of this previously on other MHs/campers and never had any issues with them so more than happy to have one on our Carthago.

again it’s not a global product it’s UK and Europe, maybe they can do a global product but a conversation would need to be had.

As per ...

If moving the insurance to a South African company it won't make much difference unless they insist on a tracker which I haven't a clue about as never been.

Just had a peek at Vodacom (South africa) they are part of the Vodaphone group and operate in other African countries so it may be a call to Vodaphone and ask them if its possible to get post boarder transfer of tracking as you cross the globe, it may be as simple as having a new data sim and the device being registered on systems for tracking. I suspect the tracking kit is a global product and just set up for the service centre they cover.

I should add I do not have a Voda tracker and no self interest but your post is an interesting one on how can a MoHo owner have their vehicle tracked if traveling beyond UK and Europe, (particularly if it invalidates the insurance)

Me too, but as it is called 'pro-global' there may be an option, for an extra subscription for a year, to have it cover more than the UK and Europe, certainly worth a phone call, we got ours from here:

I've just done a quick 'google' and the same tracker appears to be covered worldwide for HGVs .... as well as a slightly more expensive one that specifically mentions South Africa.

Indeed phone around, never heard of Pro-Global but have heard of Vodafone and if they have operations in each country like Vodafone/VodaCom the its ideal but if its a UK based centre outreaching to others then the relationships between the company and police may be a little more tenuous. Not knocking it but id go with a Global organisation that also focusses on communication infrastructure for global reach ( and acknowledge that's not the case with the tracker I have)
