Probably a dumb question, but we have a series of large black numbers (and letters I think) on the roof of our MH. We think the previous owners had a tracker installed. Are the numbers part of this? Sister and brother in law have just had their MH nicked, so trying to up our security.

It's so plod can possibly locate it after some thieving bugger has it away. Think it's a great idea :)

Usually done so that police helecopters can identify stolen vehicles easily if reported to them.

But on the other hand, it's still useful as ID

Caravan since 1970, motorhome or RV since 1999 then back to a caravan in 2017.
Excellent idea as long as it is not your own postcode as that tells anyone on a motorway bridge that you are on holiday and that your house is empty and awaiting burglars! The best advice seems to be to have your registration on the roof but that assumes that the police have the resources to look so probably only any good if yours was registered in an even year.
