Assume for the moment that I have an alarm system in my coach (In fact I do), now Am i going to tell you all about it so that some lurker can research it, come in, disable it, and rip off my valuables? (If you need to think the answer is NO).
I will, however tell you of one device I recently read about,, Now I do not (yet) have one of these but it is a multi-purpose device.
First: it is a Wi-Fi Hot spot, Currently only offered for Verizon, but it is a hot spot.
Then it is an OBD-II to Computer interface (Blue Tooth or Wi-Fi not sure which)
And it has some form of locator technology in it.. So it knows where it is at at all times.
Contact Verizon... (I kind of wonder if it has the ability to disable the ECC and kill the engine)
NOTE: I do not know if OnStar or OnGuard (Equivalent systems from GM and Ford respectively) can be had on a motor home. but on an alarm scale of 10, these are 50's. I mean as a police dispatcher I have had the pleasure of helping catch vehicles so equipped.. Lots of fun.
