Vans and motorhomes are targeted differently to ordinary cars across Essex — vans for the tools inside as much as the vehicle itself, and motorhomes for their high resale value and the ease of driving one away from a quiet rural pitch. A hidden immobiliser addresses both in the same way.
Why tradesmen's vans are a specific target
A van sitting outside a house overnight or on a job site during the day is often carrying thousands of pounds of tools — but from a thief's perspective, driving the whole van away is faster and less risky than breaking into the back. Once it's gone, both the vehicle and everything inside it are gone. Keyless vans are increasingly targeted with the same relay attack methods used on cars.
A ghost immobiliser means even a successfully relayed or cloned van key won't get the engine running — the van, and everything in it, stays put.
Why motorhomes are a growing target across Essex
Motorhomes are frequently left for extended periods on driveways, storage yards, or touring pitches with less oversight than a house. Their high value relative to visible security (many still rely on a standard cab alarm) makes them an attractive target, and their size means a stolen unit can be quickly repainted or shipped abroad before it's traced.
How fitting differs from a standard car
- The CAN BUS connection point is found in the cab, exactly as with a car — no work is needed in the living area of a motorhome
- Vans with existing racking or ply-lining are unaffected, since fitting stays within the dash and footwell area
- Fitting time is broadly the same 1-2 hours, occasionally slightly longer on larger commercial chassis
- The same Thatcham approval and insurer recognition applies — many commercial and motorhome policies specifically ask about immobiliser fitment

Does fitting affect a van's load area or ply-lining?
No — the unit is fitted in the cab area near the existing CAN BUS wiring, with no impact on the load space or racking.
Can it be fitted alongside an existing van tracker?
Yes, we regularly fit alongside existing trackers or dash cams — we just confirm compatibility with your specific setup before the day.
Is it worth it for an older motorhome?
If it still uses a standard CAN BUS system, yes — many motorhomes built on Fiat, Ford or Mercedes chassis are fully compatible regardless of the age of the leisure conversion itself.
