Morning Everyone,

Happy New Year !

This may have already been covered previously but I cant see a thread, so here goes.

We're hoping to drive to the south of France this year, and are more or less convinced on the merits of a toll tag (E-Movis in particular).

GIven that we have one of those reflective (A-Thermic) ? windscreens on our 2018 Ducato, and e-movis recommend fitment to the "dotted/shaded" area, (which on our van is only around 5-10mm wide), will the tag still work when affixed to the large solid black area around the rear view mirror ?. 

 

Any help or feedback on practical experience appreciated.

Thanks all !

My first motorhome had a cab overhang which made it difficult to get line of sight if fitted in the recommended area of the windscreen. What I did was to fix at windscreen wiper level (which after all is still probably higher than the average car?) and it worked fine.

Thanks David. Was that in the dotted area ?. I'd agree with the logic on the comparable height of a car windscreen.

If your MH is as in your Avatar with just that small overhang, ours works fine in the dotted area. However, we don’t put it fully onto the clip ( never fallen off yet) so it could be easily taken off and waved out the window if required. If pushed fully on, it is almost impossible to get off.

Thanks Steve, yes, its the one in the pic. When you say the dotted area, do you mean the thin strip at the very top of the screen or the matt black bit round the rear view mirror ?.

Sorry Steve, A bit of new year fog that hasn't lifted yet wink...I think I mis-understood ?.

Do you mean the dotted bit that runs round the matt black bit, so it sticks to the black bit but overlaps onto the dots ?.

It’s on a dotted area about level with the middle / bottom of the mirror. So about 12 cm or so below the top of the screen. Ours is stored in a compound, so I can’t check, however I don’t recall a Matt black section. Probably best for the passenger to try holding it in position for the first toll and see if it works, before sticking on the clip. Or order a second clip with the tag.

Thanks Steve for your help. Mine's in the compound as well so I cant take a pic.

Place the tag by hand somewhere on the windscreen as you approach the barrier. When you find a place where it works stick it there.
