Hi I'm a newbie to caravanning and have just bought a used 2006 Hymer 435ls  I was persuaded to buy a vin chip security pack for my caravan and installed it yesterday! The only problem I have is the rfid chip itself, where can you put it so it can be read
from 12" outside the caravan by the police with a scanner unimpeded by metal,!!?? My caravan is an aluminium box on wheels....or not?????

    Are you sure the caravan doesn't already have one?

    Standard on a Bailey.

    Has Your caravan got a 'plastic' area on the front with a gas locker? You could fix it inside there if it has.

    Bond it in a place tucked away inside the front locker, so that you have to get your head right inside to see it.
