SAFETY & SECURITY
SECURITY
Chassis number
Record the chassis number and the factory
job number of your motorhome, and keep
them in a safe place at home.
The chassis number is a 17 digit number,
beginning with the letters VF3, and is found
stamped on a plate visible through a window
in the bottom left hand corner of the
windscreen, and also on a plate under the
bonnet attached to the bonnet closing
crossmember.
The factory job number is an alphanumeric
code consisting of a letter followed by four
numbers, and is found on a label inside the
glove box.
Motorhome Theft
The theft of a motorhome can occur in the
most unlikely circumstances; from a
motorway service area, even from an owner’s
driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
motorhome is unoccupied even if only for a
short length of time.
Vehicle Location Device
Your vehicle has been fitted with a HAL 1000
satellite location device, which has been
installed in a concealed location. This will
automatically send a message to your mobile
phone if the vehicle is moved and, if it is
being moved without your authority then it
can be tracked wherever it may be taken.
If you discover, or are informed by the
Control Centre, that your vehicle has been
stolen you need to contact the police and
obtain a crime reference number. Then
supply this number to the Control Centre
(detailed are on the HAL-Locate registration
card provided) who will liaise directly with the
police to locate and recover your vehicle.
Please read carefully the HAL 1000 user
instructions supplied with your vehicle
particularly with regard to the registration of
your mobile phone(s), and understanding the
various messages.
Note: For effective operation of the system
the leisure battery must be maintained in a
good state of charge at all times.
Please be aware that maintenance of the
HAL-Locate service is via an annual
subscription payable after the first 2 years
ownership from new.
If you sell your vehicle or change your
contact details (including mobile phone),
please contact the HAL-Locate support team
on 0844 3576269 with the details.
Additional security
Consider fitting any device which might deter
or prevent intrusion by thieves. A wheel lock
prevents removal of the wheel.
Window etching of the chassis number is a
cost effective deterrent.
Free crime prevention
Advice about securing your motorhome,
protecting your valuables, property marking,
either at home or whilst on site, can be
obtained from the Crime Prevention Officer
through your local Police Station.
