Is this a booking system?
- No. There is no availability calendar, no payments and no customer checkout, and none is planned for this release. Keep the booking tool you have — this is the vehicle side: where each camper is, what condition it is in, what happened while it was away and what it cost you. If booking ships later it becomes a fifth capability here, not a replacement for your reservation system.
Can my renter see that the van is tracked — and turn it off?
- Yes to both, deliberately. The renter gets the coride app for their own van and sees the same position, fuel and battery you see, so nothing is happening behind their back. No-track mode switches location recording off when they ask for it, and turns itself back on automatically 24 hours later.
Is there a camper vehicle type?
- Not a purpose-built one yet. Campers run as a generic vehicle, which is fully supported everywhere in the dashboard — the menu says “Vehicles” rather than “Campers”. Everything on this page works today; the labelling is the part that is still generic.
Does it read the fresh-water, waste-water or gas level?
- No. Tank monitoring covers the fuel tank — calibrated from the vehicle's own sender, or read over OBD II. Habitation tanks are not a supported sensor type, and we would rather say so than let you find out after installation. Four digital inputs and two analogue inputs are available if you want to wire something yourself.
What about caravans and trailers with no engine?
- They work, with less data. No OBD II means no odometer, no fuel level and no engine diagnostics — you get position, movement, tilt and tow detection, battery voltage and temperature, on a hardwired device. That is usually the theft-and-location case rather than the condition case.
What happens if a camper is stolen?
- Movement away from where it was parked, tow and tilt detection, geofence exit and device-disconnected are all alert rules you can set, and any of them can push to your phone. The trip record keeps the track. It is a recovery aid, not a recovery service — there is no immobiliser and we do not call the police for you.
Can I see what each van earns?
- You can see what each van does — kilometres, days out, number of trips, most and least used. The cost and revenue view adds fuel cost, fixed cost per day and a revenue figure, but its revenue input is a per-hour rate, so a daily hire rate has to be entered as its hourly equivalent. Utilisation is the number to trust today.
Do I need an installer?
- No. The device is free, brings its own SIM and data, and goes into the OBD II port on a motorhome or campervan. Caravans and older conversions without OBD II are hardwired instead, which is a twenty-minute job rather than a workshop visit.
What does it cost to try?
- Fourteen days of the full dashboard, free, with a demo vehicle so there is something to click. Then CHF 10 per connected camper per month and CHF 49 for the web app. No device cost at any point.
