A motorhome Thacham alarm is different to any other Thatcham vehicle alarm as it has many extra security features to protect the living area, lockers and valuables such as bikes and gas bottles.

As with many other Thacham alarms there is an ultrasonic sensor that protects the driving cab against an intruder but in addition there is a PIR detector to guard the living area, just like a home security system.

Extra door switches need to be fitted to all doors, including external lockers as they can be used to gain entry. The door switches will trigger the motorhome alarm if the doors are opened if the alarm is armed.

A closed wire security loop to protect loose items against theft can also be incorperated in a motorhome security system. Just tread a low voltage cable through bikes, furniture, gas bottles or any other item and if the object is removed and the loop broken the motorhome alarm siren will be sound.
