I=E2=80=99m looking at two different methods of adding GPS tracking, on =

short-term basis to my car trailer. Either monthly rental once or twice =
a year or purchase and activate (pay service) for a month at a time as=20
necessary.
Does anybody have experience with GPS tracking for their RV or other?
Looking for specifics, getting ready to use it within a week!
Thanks.
