If your wheel came off let me know here.

Its much more common these days for UK caravans to be fitted with the Alko chassis and the Alko wheel clamp receiver that requires specific alloy wheels specified by Alko so really there should be no compatibility problem unless Alko are completely inept

Our year 2000 Bailey had steel wheels and came with a set of nut indicators.

But you had to remove the wheel trim to see them...

The only locking or anti-turning devices I've seen are for heavy vehicles with large wheelnuts.

Elddis caravans have BPW chassis, not AlKo

And the point is??

all you need are locking plates which work on the same principle as wire locking, which all engineers will know about.

How do you use them with the current fashion for alloy wheels with deep recesses?

Just a note that AlKo is not sole supplier of caravan chassis, thus raising the question whether loose wheels are any less (or more) common on Elddis caravans.

Also, you say that AlKo specify what alloy wheels can be fitted, so as to be reconcilable with their wheel clamp. I would imagine that this specification is dimensional only and does not include any performance criteria.

modified deep reach locking plates

Do you happen to have a link or photo to show what they look like please.

modified deep reach locking plates

Are these available or is it a DIY mod?

Hi It would be interesting to see a reply from a manufacturer to your assertions

Would anyone be interested in a set of wheel bolt indicators for alloy wheels and how much would you be prepared to pay for them?

Hello Tim.

I have not lost a wheel from a caravan trailer or car, though I have lost wheel a bolt from the nearside rear of my car and another was loose on inspection, (Alloy wheel 5 bolt fixing).

I wonder what your reason for asking the question is?
