My alarm was just around £350, its a Thatcham cat 1.

This makes a major difference to your insurance premium. We are paying less than £300 a year now fully comp. It has paid for itself after 2 years.

Just to add " Thatcham cat 1" is a standard of alarm, it should come with a certificate. I think the make of my alarm is Sterling.

Make sure you get one fitted where you can turn off the inside sensors and leave the perimeter alarm still on so you can have the alarm on when your in bed.

I Have had problems with the alarm fitting The habitational door being the problem

The renualt master has a security feature that if it doesnt detect entry it relocks the central locking the habitational door is on the central locking circuit.

But it isnt connected to the courtesy light circuit so the security system doesnt know you have entered and locks you in.

Worse when the alarm is fitted as it locks you in and arms the alarm

So make sure if the habitational door is on the lighting circuit otherwise it will have to be wired in.

Your lockers will have to be wired in and they range at £100 to 50 each so the costing goes up.

My installer was rubbish tried to say it was my fault had to put him right so make sure what you want and get it agreed.

At first I had the same problem as Spartan (above).

The fitter had to come back a few times to get it right. If the installer has not used to Motorhomes, its worth mentioning this.
