Does anyone know of a tracking device that can be fitted to a van permanently  , aside from leaving a phone in the van and it going flat .

I recollect seeing something that served the purpose on another website but cant remember where or what .

It would be good if it could be left on indefinitely and kept charge off the van batteries.

An old phone can also be kept charged all the time.

Wife and I discussed fitting a tracker to our camper but then we remembered a friend who had their car stolen and when returned slightly damaged they could never feel "at ease" when driving it.....a bit like being violated.
Instead we rely on insurance and if it gets stolen we don't want to see it. Just a thought.

Good Luck.

Just remember to pay that bit extra.

To get your ins "Agreed" Value. NOT Market value.

With the market value,
they can give you virtually nix
and you have NO comeback.

I had a damaged van few yrs ago.
Ins for $38k.(Agreed val)

They wrote off and wrote me a cheque for $24k.
Current market value. In THEIR eyes.

Scuse me.... Look at policy.

Cheque for extra in next day post.

Always get Agreed (some don't) When avail.

it's worth the extra.
