E Movis Tag

Posted on 10/01/2022 10:57 by JimE

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.

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.

I've thought about one of these, I don't want to sound negative, but what are the real advantages of Toll road and Tag system. I know when we travelled peak season they meant we could get somewhere a bit quicker, but what are the real cost implications. I note you have a registration or is it yearly fee and then a set admin fee per month of use. Add to this high toll costs and it sees to add up. I know on the route we take to the Dordogne from Calais we use the Toll across towards Rouen and that's it. At the last check this route saved us about Euro 60 each way and took about 1/2hr longer. We also had lots of rest stops and cheap fuel on the way. Towing was still possible at 55/60mph for the majority of the time

Is the Toll road and E Movis Tag aimed at the we must get there quickly traveller?

Purely convenience. The extra cost implications in addition to the tolls are quite small once the account is set up. If you have a motorhome it can be quite difficult for the passenger to reach the ticket machine from the cab without opening the door and possibly getting out. Many toll booths are now  unstaffed so a tag makes life a lot easier. If someone is going just for a couple of weeks its worth might be questionable. If you are embarking on a long trip visiting many places as we often did we found it very useful.
