Here’s our top picks for the best motorhome trackers of 2023 including insurance-approved trackers and standard GPS tracking devices.
GPSBob Mongoose S7 Insurance Approved GPS Motorhome Tracker
The first up in our list of the best motorhome trackers is our very own S7 Thatcham-approved GPS motorhome tracking device.
The Mongoose tracker is approved by Thatcham to S7 standard and comes with free professional installation anywhere in the UK.
S7 certified tracking devices mean that you can rest assured that you have access to a 24/7 contact centre that are able to alert the police in the event of your vehicle being stolen.
This will then prompt a level one police response whereby the authorities will be alerted to the stolen vehicle making it more likely to track the vehicle down to recover it.
The GPSBob Mongoose Insurance Approved Tracker also includes 12 months subscription to the Thatcham approved call centre included in the price making this a fantastic value-for-money option if you’re in the market for an insurance approved motorhome tracker.
One of the stand-out benefits of the Mongoose Tracker is that once the 12 month subscription ends, you have the option to extend for a further 12 months to keep the Thatcham approval.
Or, if you no longer want the insurance approval, the tracking device reverts back to a standard GPSBob tracking device meaning you can still access your live location and historical tracking data from the included GPS tracking software and app.
You also have enough tracking data included to last up to a further 4 years before needing a top-up.
The GPSBob Mongoose Insurance Approved Motorhome Tracker is priced at only £314.99 with no monthly fees or contracts.

Things to consider when buying a GPS Motorhome tracker
There are some important things to consider before deciding which GPS motorhome tracker to buy and install in your vehicle.
Where will you use the tracker? UK, Europe, WorldWide?
When choosing a GPS motorhome tracker, it’s important to consider where you will be using it. If you plan on travelling outside of the UK, you will need a tracker that works reliably in other countries.
Typically you will be fine with a 2G tracking device if you only intend on motorhoming around the UK or most of Europe, however if you want the most coverage from your tracking device then a 4G tracker device would be better suited.
Make sure to check the coverage area of the tracker and ensure that it will work in the locations you plan to travel to.
Insurance approved or standard GPS tracker device?
Another important consideration when choosing a GPS motorhome tracker is whether you need an insurance-approved device or a standard GPS tracker.
Insurance-approved devices are typically more expensive, but can save you money on your insurance premiums and offer much greater protection in the event of your vehicle being stolen.
Standard GPS trackers are generally more affordable, but may not provide the same level of security.
What features do you need in the tracking software?
Different GPS motorhome trackers come with different software features. Some common features to consider include geofencing, alerts for unusual activity, live location tracking, and mobile app and desktop software. Consider which features are most important to you and choose a tracker that offers those features.
