E Movis Tag

Hi Matt, We had two TAGs, a Tamar Bridge and Sanef/emovis which we removed when we changed cars last June.

As AD we now keep the Tamar TAG handy and just hold against the screen when we approach the barrier and I see no reason to change this when we do get to venture into France again for the emovis TAG.

As for the TAG itself, its something that, for a bit of money, saves a lot of faff and that has become more useful with the reduction in staffed toll booths.

No its on an area of clear glass. I am not altogether sure why they say put it in the dotted area unless its a security thing so it can't be seen by others or obstruct the sweep of the wiper blades?

Thanks David.

I understand that It needs to go in the "Shaded/Dotted" area because the "Van" has a reflective coating on the windscreen (that cuts down UV I believe). The signal from the tag to the booth (Or visa versa) is blocked by this coating and the barrier wont lift. If the tag goes into the shaded area there's no coating in these areas and the system works. 

Thanks guys. I agree, for the stress the thing will save its worth its weight in gold.

Although I would enjoy my commanding officer trying her best french "Camping Car Deux" then chucking change everywhere 

Afternoon Guys,

Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far.

To help clarify, I've now managed to get a pic of the solid black area around the mirror if anyone has any experience of this ?

Matt, try it there by hand and see.  If it works stick it on. Till then it can go in the glove box or the door pocket.

Matt, we travelled through France using the Tag middle of December here in Spain just now. Have to say it is money well spent as worked a treat for us, we have the same black area as you and stuck it to the left of this in clear glass.

The area that is 'dotted' or complete black is where the Solar Attenuating windscreen has a clear area, and meant for 'Tags', like so on mine.

Open in a new Tab for a more defined piccy.

On my last MH, an Autocruise Gleneagle, I stuck the tag clip on the forward facing surface of the rearview mirror as the concertina blinds would have caught on the clip if it was stuck to the windscreen.  Toll barriers opened reliably using that technique.

In my current MH, a Dethleffs Advantage A Class, we had trouble getting the tag far enough forward to be read at the barrier, as the screen is nearly a metre in front of the passengers sitting position.  To solve that problem, I have mounted the tag on a selfie stick and it now works a treat.

It's just a case of experimenting where is best to position the tag and then fix the clip once you know where it works.

Thanks for that, really helpful. Enjoy Spain 👍🏻
