A tracker can help prevent your ’van from being stolen and, if the worst happens, help recover it quickly. That’s why we have just had Moving Intelligence’s iTrack Ultimate fitted…
Motorhome trackers have developed rapidly with the most sophisticated units now offering theft prevention in addition to live tracking and effective recovery.
Motorhome trackers have already proven to be an excellent way to improve recovery rates in the case of theft, and now we can benefit from enhanced features, including immobilisation, driver recognition and tailored alerts.
Sadly, with the rate of theft increasing for both motorhomes and campervans it’s of paramount importance to invest in protection, as Ben Cue, General Manager and Director of Operations at Comfort Insurance, told us, “Trackers are becoming more and more essential in people being able to protect their second most valuable asset. Unfortunately, we are at a time that it is not so much about the discount that someone would receive but whether they would be insured if they don’t have one.”
So, I’ve had the latest iTrack S5 Ultimate from Moving Intelligence fitted to my much-loved VW T6 CMC HemBil Urban campervan.

Moving Intelligence reports a highly impressive 94% recovery rate for its tracker solutions, with the quickest recovery time being just 15 minutes (the average is 70 minutes). Recent successes include two Adria Twins recently stolen in Leeds and both quickly recovered and returned to their owners.
Moreover, it’s not just newer vehicles being stolen, either, as the limited availability and high cost of spares mean that older motorhomes are also being stolen for their parts. So, when people ask whether motorhomes with trackers get stolen, sadly some still do, but, with the latest technology, it is becoming harder for thieves to e
