I think this is the sight you are looking for Ive spoken to some 4x4 friends how have trackers in cars thay say that thay are good when your in phone contact other wise remove your towing hitch off your van if you are going away for a long time.

There was some questions raised on a number of motoring forums regarding the effectiveness of tracking devices once outside the built up areas of our capital cities As usual unless it happens within sight of the GPO then those out in the sticks don't get a look in. If insurers don't recognize the value then there is need for caution if setting out to install one . Also are there ongoing fees for monitoring the tracker.

Thanks for the feedback everyone,the unit was quoted at $299.00 and there was the cost of the SIM card.Apart from that nothing else relating to additional costs.I have been advised that if anyone really wants your van (ie proffesionals) they will carry their own coupling and even a 12v angle grinder.Seems like either way you cannot win !!!!!!
