Vehicle theft has been rising at an alarming rate, with official statistics showing a 62% rise since 2013. Specific data on motorhome theft is more difficult to obtain but Police have highlighted worrying spikes of motorhome theft in certain parts of the UK.
With Motorhomes commanding a significant investment and often home to valuable possessions and equipment, they are popular targets for thieves. Fortunately there are an array of specialist security products available to help you to protect your motorhome.
Ghost Immobiliser
Career criminals targeting expensive vehicles have an array of tools at their disposal to aid them in overriding and bypassing manufacturer’s security systems. Such tools enable covert entry, whereby thieves can then quickly gain control of the vehicle.
Each model of vehicle can have different vulnerabilities and with advances in technology, so too new techniques are always being developed. The Ghost Immobiliser is an excellent security enhancement for your motorhome that protects your vehicle against modern theft techniques, including key-cloning, hacking, and even key theft.
Featuring an innovative engine lockout mechanism that uses the data network on the vehicle, the Ghost will prevent a vehicle from being driven until a unique user-defined disarm sequence is entered. The unique disarm sequence is generated via the buttons in your vehicles such as those on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console.
