Hi All,
Our New (to us) Hymer has a phantom tracker already fitted. We pick up the van in a week so do not have any detailed info yet but what are the thoughts. Our insurance in France does not require one so it is for our peace of mind only. The van will be in France permanently so is a Phantom worth while? Can we actually take over the device? Would it be better and cheaper to forget it and get an @eddievanbitz tracker and growler alarm fitted instead. I don't know any details of the alarm either yet, the design of the van was more important than the fitted accessories. Do Hymer fit alarms as standard, it's a Star Edition B614SL Hymer. If so how good are they? Eddie I have heard is fully booked at the moment so it would have to be done later in the year when we visit the UK again.
Searching on-line the Phantom seems to have mixed reviews and being permanently in Europe, Police here may not respond to tracking from a UK tracker but Eddies one or similar where you can just point to a web page may be taken more seriously.
Anybody with Good or Bad experience of the Phantom and perhaps the alarm if it is a standard factory fitment who could give some comments would be most welcome. Especially anybody who has bought a van second-hand with a Phantom already fitted with regard to taking it over.
We will also sadly be soon selling our beloved LeVoyageur "A" class on Mercedes Chassis with SprintShift please P.M. me if interested. I will be putting an add in Classified on here soon.
Thanks for reading.
Steve
