Lest it's stolen. Cheers in advance.
you must drive a Ford Focus?
was it you who purchased a motorhome / campervan ? ? ?
is it for that ? ? ?
the better ones are subscription based, you can buy them with a sim holder, so it uses the mobile sim signal
this one charges 20 quid a year, uses date which they say is fairly cheap

add to it the hard wire kit,

50 quid for the pair
many in the old VW t4 scene, used to get a old phone ( put a pay as you go sim in it ), wire a charger in from a 12V feed from the battery, hide it all behind a panel, you can track that then, apple even do " find my phone " , yes they can cut the battery, but the phones battery will last a while
depends on what you want to track and how much you want to spend
has it got a kitchen pod in it ? ? ? most put a false back on the kitchen pod and slot a phone in that space, run a 12V feed from somewhere, fit a 12v port ( old ciggie lighter socket ) and plug in a usb charger, put it on silent and you are good to go
or you in a cupboard you could put a false floor in that, loads of options
wire this to either the van battery or leisure battery if you have one, you might have a small 12v fuse board for lights / sockets in the back

I user voda tracker and its £304 per year. I have no idea if that is good or bad
TBG are you looking for an inexpensive tracker for a vehicle or a tracker for an inexpensive vehicle? just wondering?
Best security is move your obd2 port and put a false one in its place.
To stop it getting driven away, if it’s got one, take the rotor arm out
What about simply using a second mobile phone with a SIM in it (which I have already) as a tracker by using Google maps?
Generally it is very hard to steal a modern vehicle without the keys. Full blown campers do get towed away as they have decent values.
The tracker Blue Matt mentioned sounds very cheap . We have them on some of our rental vehicles and the subscriptions are around £10 a month.
Camper vans are going to be all the rage in the coming years, not only corona virus driven, people are enjoying the great out doors .
Corona-virus will keep some people holidaying here in the uk .
I have a full blown camper VW T4 transporter which is beautiful.
I just bought a 2013 accident damaged T5 . It has a full caravelle interior ( back seats fold into a bed ) I am going to use as a day van for cycling , walking etc .
the hidden phone idea has been around for years ( since everyone was converting t4's ) its not the perfect answer, but gives a little bit of peace of mind
I used to have 2 in my VW splitscreen, hidden behind panels, i then tried to track the phone with a website i paid for ( 10 tracks for a fiver ) the area the phone could be in was massive, this was about 15 years ago and mobile phone pinging has improved alot now and it pinpoint to a house
