Motorhome Security with Phantom Target

Motorhome Security with Phantom Target

Motorhomes are a great way to have a home away from home and come with the freedom that you can choose when, where and how long you stay! The only problem is that thieves see a motorhome as an opportunity to earn them some serious money!

You have spent thousands of pounds on your pride and joy and is it really worth wondering whether it will still be on the path when you get home! Is it where I left it?

The perpetrators of vehicle crime have become more sophisticated over recent years and motorhome owners need to go to greater lengths to protect their valuable asset.

Alarms, crook-locks, hitch-locks, and other mechanical failsafes can be a good deterrent but are no longer enough. They may give the thief less time to play with but it is often not enough to prevent theft. Vehicles like these represent easy pickings for a criminal. Given time, a skilled and determined thief will often get his way and your prized possession could, as they say, be history.

Now there are solutions designed to out-smart the thief: the Phantom range from Phantom Limited.

One of the most important features of the Phantom Target is that Phantom designed the unit with you in mind. Phantom have worked hard on your behalf to make the Phantom Target the best protection available in the motorhome market. Phantom units are backed up with a fully manned called centre manned 24hrs a day 365 days each year.

Unlike some units on the market if your prize possession is stolen, once you have reported the theft, we will follow it through to recovery with the police. You won't have to track it yourself!

The last thing we want is you to have problems with your motorhome whilst enjoying your holiday so if you want the best protection for your motorhome fit a Phantom!

Phantom has been tested and 'Q Class Listed' by the Thatcham Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre and therefore its cost can often be offset by lower insurance premiums.

Phantom. The cost effective, reliable and reassuring tracking system which is helping win the fight against motorhome theft

Only around 10% of stolen motorhomes without tracking devices on are ever recovered! Don't add your motorhome to that statistic.

Caravan Security with Phantom Target

Caravan Security with Phantom Target

If you're buying a new caravan, congratulations!

If your looking to reduce your insurance premiums we wish you well.

Either way you have a valuable asset to protect and you are keen to do so in a way that offers the best value.

Not only is your caravan valuable to you it's valuable to the ever increasing number of professional and determined gangs of thieves. So the security system you choose must be up to the job.

The choices of security products on the market is bewildering and to some extent undermined by the old fashioned reliance on hitch-locks, wheel-clamps and their like.

Our experience in the leisure market indicates that the determined thief views the conventional physical deterrents merely as an inconvenience. Virtually all of the caravans we have recovered have involved the bypass of at least one of these.

The facts show that if a gang of thieves decide to steal your caravan and it is protected in the conventional manner it will be stolen!

Caravan security essentially breaks down into two categories Prevention and Recovery.

Prevention

One option would be to place your caravan in secure storage.

Storing your caravan on a CaSSOA site. The team at CaSSOA, lead by Ted Young, work tirelessly to ensure that the sites they endorse are of the highest standard.

Prior to Phantom the leisure market didn't have a recognised Recovery strategy

Recovery

Phantom manufacture a pair of tracking devices specifically designed for use with caravans. Specifically is important here because your caravan is unusual in a number of regards.

After extensive research involving Caravan insurers and manufacturers, the ideal specification was settled upon.

Success in this process led to the launch of two tracking systems designed and priced for use with caravans: Phantom Target and Phantom ProActive.

Fleet Logistics with Phantom Insight

Fleet Logistics with Phantom Insight

Phantom Insight is a fully scaleable professional vehicle management system for companies of all sizes.

By collecting data from a range of sources and decoding it into a central database, the customer can control and assess their fleet as whole as well as managing day to day issues.

Data collected by Insight can be used to create reports specifically tailored to individual department needs.

Insight remains fully configurable and can be adjusted to provide the right detail of information for every level of usage. The use of GPRS gives us flexibility few systems can offer, keeping up to date location and information at your fingertips for a fraction of the cost usually associated with GSM communications.

Insight has also been designed to allow for advances in technology, giving us the ability to update and upgrade our software remotely.

  • On screen vehicle location
  • Driver details
  • Up to date journey details
  • Current status, speed etc.
