Hi Dave, I think that the next big con will be Pay As You Go insurance. Dig deep and you find out that Norwich Union and Direct Line both control companies that own the two biggest selling GPS tracking and location devices in the UK. I was told that Norwich Union have tried to register the term Pay As you Drive (or something similar) Italy is already in the grip with of this as the following quote from Meta Systems Italia web site

Don't know if this adds anything useful to the debate, but after researching trackers for my own RV, I was left rather dubious about their cost/benefit advantages.

I eventually tracked down (sorry about that) a British company that sells a rather neat solution. It's not an all singing and dancing GPS-enabled tracker, but it does act as an alarm if your MH is moved or tampered with and will send an immediate text message to your mobile phone. Once this has been sent, you then have the option to call the unit back, whereupon it silently switches on a microphone, so you can listen to what's going on in the MH. If the alarm is genuine, you can then call the cops. If the MH has been moved, the unit can be tracked via the mobile phone network, using a web site such as FollowUs (www.followus.co.uk).

As I said, this isn't a total solution, but for £199 + VAT it's pretty good value and as far as I know, isn't open to the disabling technique mentioned in an earlier post.

The company selling the unit are AlarmTrail. Their web site is
