In the absence of the CMHC defining a specific model Wraith lock you are still compliant with the T&Cs. But if you wish to upgrade your wheel lock that’s understandable, but you will never be totally safe from those who cherish your belongings.

I suspect that in a legal dispute this would revolve around the interpretation of ",that has received certified
approval from either Sold Secure, Thatcham or SCM.TASS C
."

Interestingly, on the CAMC website page about security devices, the above bold text only appears on the bullet point for the Stronghold device - I suspect this is a typo / bad layout, but it might work in your favour in court....

The original Wraith lock might have been approved by Sold Secure at some or other point in time, but it does not show up today as approved on their website - only the Wraith 3 does. Does the part in bold on page 30 after the comma apply to all devices listed, and does it still apply if the device was approved by one of those organisations in the past but no longer meets the current standard - open to question?

On such a legal technical point you must ask the CAMC for their specific answer. Any ambiguity on their part would be found in your favour. As the drafter of the wording they cannot at a later date import words and meanings that were not there before. The Contra Preferentum Rule.

Also if acceptance of earlier models is not given, then owners face significant costs to upgrade. What happens to an owner who perhaps buys one and a month or so later the next model is put on sale? Nice thing about the Wraith is that it can move to the successive caravans without having to be replaced like Alko lozenges. Bit like not having full width awning.
