About Thatcham S5 and S7 Trackers

1. How do I know if my camper or motorhome has a Thatcham alarm?

   • Check your vehicle's documentation, such as the owner's manual or insurance paperwork.
   • Look for Thatcham certification on the alarm system itself. Many Thatcham-approved systems have a visible sticker or label.
   • Contact the manufacturer or dealer with your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
   • If your vehicle has an aftermarket alarm, check the brand and model against Thatcham’s approved list on their website.
