Leisurepower used to be the cheapest:

I suspect it was a bit of a loss-leader to compete with Camos, given how their price has now rocketed:

Which dealer? Was it that they sell a different one? were out of stock of Camos, or perhaps they hadn't/couldn't pay their account with RoadPro so couldn't get any.

We have fitted as many as any dealer I would guess, and we distribute Camos to our own fitting agents and local dealers. We have had no major problems with Camos, neither has any other dealer that I am aware of.

Tracvision is a different beast. It only looks at Astra 2B unlike the six satellites that Camos can use. So it is not cheaper as you cannot make a direct comparison in my opinion.

Why not speak to Andy Harris at Roadpro, he is the MD and personally tests all of the systems he sells. Discuss your fears with him and get the information from the horses mouth

Cheers

Andy is back from his sojourn of comparison testing a number of different satellite setups on the edge of Astra footprints and is now writing it up.

I spoke with the Roadpro team last weekend, clearly as an existing customer, not a prospective one, and they proferred that not much has gone wrong with Camos since some early microswitch failures, the component for which has long since been replaced.

Many customers apparently attribute problems to Camos where switching their satellite receiver to the southern beam is beyond them. But that's as they would with any satellite system, so shouldn't be a discrimninator, unless those types of people are attracted by the Camos user-friendliness, simplicity yet flexibility in the first place.

I have emailed Andy at RoadPro, lets see if we can't track this statement down!
