Advice on trackers

I’m renting out my motorhome so I want to fit a tracker. But it is only worth around £22,000 so I don’t think it needs a top-end one. I don't fully understand how trackers work, but I understand the top-end ones can cost a few hundred pounds to buy then up to £200 for a yearly live subscription. 

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable tracker that isn’t too expensive or require expensive annual subscription? 
Many thanks,

Nick

    I’m a bit lost here. If your MH is rented out and travelling who knows where and you get an alert from the tracker company, how will you know if it's the hirer moving the van or whether it's been nicked?

    I'd check with your insurers and see if they have a preference for a particular tracker as I bet your premium is sky high to cover the hired use and you might get a discount by fitting whatever is recommended.

    Take a look at GPS Live a relatively low cost tracker service with an emphasis on fleet operators so lots of options to keep any eye on where your van is and how it’s being driven. I use the DB1-lite, about £60. East to fit yourself.
