Vehicle Tracking System “Phantom Tracking*
(for Great Britain only)
The Phantom Tracking System monitors your vehicle using tracking
software that has been secretly installed.
You can access the MyPhantom portal and the app, enabling you to
determine where your caravan is at any time (an Internet connection
must be available for this). The system recognises when the vehicle
changes its location and reports this, making you aware of any possible
theft. The system determines the vehicle’s exact location to within 8
feet (approx. 2,44 meters).
- Please refer also to the separate system manufacturer’s
operating instructions and read them carefully before
initial operation.
- The system has a rechargeable battery, i.e. it continues
to send even if the power supply has been cut until
the rechargeable battery is discharged.
2.5 Safety Systems
Central Registration and Identification System CRiS*
(for Great Britain only)
CRiS is the national register for British caravan owners. It is recognised
by the regulatory authorities, insurance companies and governmental
organisations as well as the Department for Transport (DFT).
VIN CHIP™ is a new industrial standard for identifying caravans. It uses
a neutral and unique number within visible and invisible VIN CHIP™
elements both in and on the caravan.
The system links this number to a CRiS keeper record in the central
database.
The driver must put on this high-visibility vest when the vehicle
• comes to a stop outside city limits on an obscure rural road be-
cause of an accident or breakdown, if the visibility is poor due to
bad weather, in twilight or darkness, or
• when it must be highlighted by the use of a warning triangle on
the hard shoulder because of an accident or breakdown.
