Alko ATC trailer control

[gooner44]

Hi Has anyone had any experience with this system? Is it an advantage to have when towing & does it work? My interest is due to it being an option on the new van we're considering buying & apparently it only takes 15mins to fit at the new assembly stage. Comments would be welcome please.

As I undestand it its only an advantage if you have a violen snake/swerve

Its a bit like ABS brakes on a car you don't need them until you need them.

I saw it at the NEC yesterday and am seriously thinking about having it retro fitted so would also welcome advice or comments.

Lutz....are you there?

thanks

I've just replied to the same question under 'Towing, driving and safety'.

we have it on series 6 Indiana,when we collected our series 5 it was very unstable empty due to low noseweight.This one towed fine and it does not seem affected by vans etc flying past.We are more confident with it so it is worth it to me

Thanks for all your replies, they're very much appreciated & I feel it is a worthwhile investment for added peace of mind.

Hi everyboby.

I gave my details to the Alko stand at the NEC and impatiently await them to contact me to arrange fitting.

Has anyone who left their details at the NEC been contacted by Alko?

They don't seem eager to sell and fit their new device.
