If you decide to fit a GPS tracker in your motorhome, you have two options: you can install it yourself, or have it fitted by a professional. Both options work well — it depends on your situation, technical knowledge and the level of security you require.
Option 1: DIY installation
The TrackJack motorhome tracker is designed so that you can install it yourself. The tracker connects to your motorhome’s battery and ignition circuit. With the included manual, this is a job that takes most people about an hour.
Advantages of DIY installation
- Available immediately — no waiting for an appointment
- Lower costs — no installation fees
- Flexible — you decide where to hide the tracker
What to bear in mind
- Make sure the tracker is well hidden and not visible
- Connect it to a circuit that is always active, even when the ignition is off
- Test the connection after installation via the TrackJack app
Option 2: Professional installation by TrackJack
TrackJack works with professional fitters who will visit you on site. They will install the tracker invisibly, in the optimal location for your specific motorhome model. This enhances both the security and the reliability of the connection.
Advantages of professional installation
- Concealed — thieves cannot easily find the tracker
- Optimal placement for the best GPS and 4G signal
- Professional fitters are familiar with various types of motorhomes
- Includes connection to a backup power supply in case the main power fails
When should you opt for professional installation?
- If your motorhome is of high value
- If you want maximum security
- If you have no technical knowledge of your motorhome’s electrical system
