For me I've had both and the sanef one rarely worked. Same position in window and even had them replace it just in case batteries but still didn't work. So sent back and now have mango which has worked since day one. No comparison for me mango all the way.

We had the one for Spain. Got rid when the vast majority of the tolls were abolished.
Have the one for France and never had an issue, works great, but sometimes you have to almost touch the barrier before it goes up.

The mango has worked for us as we are 5t and over just 3m high and a tag axle but you are right we have had to get within in touching of the barrier at times for it to open but it does open unlike the Sanef one we had previously. No idea what the difference is in terms of tech but mango works and sanef didn't for us.

What height is the MH? Many toll booths have sensors, picking up the height as well as the number of axles, hence us never getting Class 2 in the Hymer or the Flair, unless we use the squawk box. :(

Cheers,

Jock. :)

It's got a sensor on your wallet too!
If Rita doesn't give you any spend, the toll has zoomed in on her purse.

My mango tag has been faultless. It does take a while for the app to update and even longer before they actually charge you anything.

I used mine in May on the Tancarville bridge and it hasn't taken the money yet (€3.40) even though my account shows debited between 15th and 17th June (i have emailed them but had no response) . I have got another for June for €5.40 which was on the A79 from Moulins to Paray le Monial and i am glad i had tag as it looked like it was a Toll motorway under construction and not yet completed , it was only when i went under the camera's and my other half said it bleeped (i'm hard of hearing so heard nothing) that we realised they were live, so without the tag we would have ended up with a bill and fine when we got home . Also the sat nav is set to no tolls and that didn't pick it up,.
 
If it’s showing in your account for a June trip then you will be invoiced for that month soon and your nominated bank account debited shortly afterwards. I traveled on the Italian Autostrada in April and wasn’t charged for it until the May monthly invoice and the payment taken in June.

Yes the June trip i expect to be charged this month but its the May trip which i expected to be charged in June hasn't been debited. Maybe its because its only €3.40 and they will bundle the two together this month.

They can be slow in creating an invoice, I thought that I had finished paying for the tolls from March but there was a late one of €6.50 which I did not notice and there were not enough euros in the currency account that I use to pay it.The email came unexpectedly and demanded me to pay the invoice plus €83 on account for future journeys or €11 cancellation costs and to send the tag back. I paid the outstanding €6.50 and apologised for missing the invoice but they still want me to pay €83 or send it back within 10 days.
The only time we will use it is going to Spain and as we intend to do Portsmouth to Santander next January they can have it back.
 
Well that didn’t last long☹️☹️ came through France today on the toll road pulled up the the barrier Mango bleeped and off I went laughing😂 45 ish miles away come up to the barrier and it didn’t go up! No worries had this in June just press the button and say to the person camping car class 2👍 stroppy French bird was having none of it saying I’m not a car🤬🤬🤬 €22 and I drive off🤬🤬
Next barrier no option but to pay and that was €11 class 3😢😢 looks like my Mango partnership has finished😢😢
 
Doing our bestest to stay off toll roads this trip (not for financial reason's)
Tomorrow going to Zell Am See have to go through emmision zone (not propb euro 6) and a toll (no idea where that might be), Oh and weight limit 3.5 but i'm not going to tell em so you don't either.:LOL:
PS we have put our Emovis up in the screen but avoided France so far.

Haply with that, although the Knob in the lorry behind wasn’t when he was waiting for me to go through 😂😂😂 don’t know if he thought his horn was going to make the barrier go up🤔🤔

he obviously wouldn't be as the idea is you do not stop?I thought that there was a lane ,far right for those with tags to drive straight through none of this barrier nonsense.

They still have barriers on the ones we have used, in theory slow down and barrier goes up😁
 
Hopefully we will finally get to use ours this week. It’s been waiting patiently since last November. I stuck it on this morning when it was cooler. Going through France and Italy so fingers crossed.

Sorry mate
Was gong to ask
How do you find the motolug ?

Only used it twice but for what i have used it for it's been brilliant.
Did Picos for 8 days with the MH and the bike on the Motolug on it. Towed there and back great.
Ans when you are home disassemble it and store in the green house (thats where mine is)
BUT, and there is always but, don't try reversing with it attached, easier nailing a blancmange to the wall.
It's light enough and well balanced enough to unhitch and do what you have to.
The mid size one carries a bike up to 350 Kgs. That's the one i have.

That sounds great thanks for the review.

One question though if I may why would you want to nail a blancmange to a wall ? 😂😂
