Thanks again! Only two choices left now
Hi, we are getting there slowly. Have now narrowed it down to two option, the first being the Van Bitz alarm which appears to come highly recommended, only slight snag is we would have to go to Devon to have it fitted but they have told us they have camping facilities on site.
The second is the Thatcham Cobra 2 alarm, which our dealers can arrange to get fitted for us, however I have to admit I've been a bit put off as it's just taken me 4 phone calls to confirm that it definetly has an option to switch off the internal movement sensor. Also they kept going on about if the side door was not made of metal then was talking about wireless transmitters as ÂŁ100 each and saying that the magnetic switches weren't much good. So far Van Bitz have proven to be the best, when I rang them then had answers to all my questions and it only took a couple of minutes to work out what we wanted.
We've also decided to go for the Bar that fits across the side door, this is mainly for security when we are not in the motorhome, it's in storage some of the time and will be useful as a handle to help get in and out of the van.
I should explain that we are a mother and daughter team, me being in my 30's and mother being a bit older! We've had a 5 berth motorhome for the last year, but my grandmother is moving down to live with us and has decided to come away with us in the motorhome so we've had to upgrade to a 6 berth, she is 84 and fit as a fiddle with only slight hearing loss. Our last van came with security already on it, this one is less than 3 years old with nothing added, which suprised us somewhat.
But we are getting there. Thanks for all your suggestions and advice. I think this forum is an excellent service for motor home owners.
