We already have one. Had it for over 12 months. Excellent device.

This was announced in about 2020. No idea how to put one on a mororhome as the device has a magnet to attach to a vehicle roof. My motorhome roof is not magnetic. The idea is you can put them on the roof of a broken down vehicle without getting out.

Ah, you mean the emergency warning light. Yes, had one of those in the Jag for ages - never used it. For the moho I guess we will need a metal pole or similar? Not too worried about that for now to be honest. They'll change their minds again soon.
