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.

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

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?
