Apart from a tracker........ list some method's to prevent theiving b******s from taking your pride and joy!

Caravan Immobilisers/ alarms are good as they go off if your van is picked up rather than towed.

Paint as many parts as you can with a paint stick... your postcode or name or something! under dash, behind seats etc.... Even underneath, gearbox, calipers etc

I did have the idea of fixing a ring bolt to the garage floor and then chaining the axle to it - oh yeah and don't forget to put a big sign on your dash

:!: REMEMBER THE CHAIN :!:

or you might end up with a longer ride!!

weld a mobile phone inside the chassis and have it always connected to the battery.
if your bus gets nicked it can be traced.

guess its like a homemade tracker

not sure Derek from the H&D club told me he had that done on his samba
i thought it was a great idea because the phone will be fully charged and as long as there is a signal it could be traced
