The answer depends in part on how you live and what you live in.
I drive a class A towing a car so the standard "Stolen auto" policy works for me. but what about the "A".. Well the insurance on it is a higher grade.
What happens if I'm out and about in the puppy (The car follows the motor home around like a puppy don't you know, or like a baby elephant (nose to tail). and some semi runs a red light and that's all folks.
Wel MASA (Medical Air Services Assn) drives the Motor home home for me (I need to set that up by the way right now it goes to my brother's home I think) and flys my remains back to where I'm going.
What would I suggest in your case:
Well. Gewt with SAtate Farm, get the check and go to AutoTrader or some other web site and find a new tow vehicle.. you are going to have to anyway..
Second. Equip tow vehicle with one of the following
Ford: On-Guard (if you buy new this may be an option, or incuded)
Chevy: On-Star (Likewise)
other makes.. often offer one or the other.
Not an option: go with a Mobly device like T-Mobile Sync up and drive or Verizon's device.
What is this: 1: A cellular hotspot (basically useless in the case of th T-mobile one. I undewrstand the AT&T one is better More on that in a bit, Don't know much about the Verixon one
A Engine Control Computer monitor,, reports error codes to your phone.
And a VEHICLE TRACKER.. GPS tracking reported to the phone
So you will always knwo where it isk Plugs into OBD II but I fear thieves may know enough to unplug it .
The issu3es I have with the thing
1: hot spot: The T-mobile app lets me keep it on for up to 10 minutes after I turn off the car.. NOT all the time, if it was all the time I could really use it
The Engine monitor is one way. I can not clear error codes as I can with my other OBD-II and the ZTE Mobly will not talk to TORQUE app on my phone (like the other adapter does)
So once it's paid for it goes by by in my case. Will go with another OBD-II to blue tooth.
