Wheel lock purchase

[Hutch]

Would the L&L be suitable for long term usage on a seasonal pitch?

They are supposed to be ok , looking at the bumf.

On a seasonal pitch I probably wouldn't use one if I did I would check it weekly. Probably I would level the van on ramps/blocks. Then with the car attached jack it up and fit the Alko lock.

My brother has just bought a caravan and has the L&L , he says it's great, but he has been away twice on fairly flat pitches, the L&L can only raise a wheel by 6 inches, I would rather have a ramp. Cheaper as well.

I don't think BB has anything to worry about as the dealer is delivering the caravan to the site and will probably set it all up for BB. BB's insurance may require the ALKO lock

Not this time around no towbar on car the dealer will back it on to the service pitch and make sure it level and I am hoping he shows me how the Al-ko wheel lock goes and also follow someone else advice on here but thanks for your input .👍

Did you not have the AlKo wheel lock on your last caravan. ?

No just had a Bulldog Euroclamp on caravan

We purchased a 2nd hand Alko lock last week for our single axle caravan.
It could not be easier to fit and it perplexes me when I see comments about it being difficult 🤔

The problem comes when you are trying to fit the AlKo wheel lock, and trying to level the caravan side to side with a ramp.
I have a clamp type of wheel lock I can fit instead of the AlKo

 

[Buckman]

OH always fitted our ALKO locks and never had any issues.

Why do you need to level to fit a lock?

No need to be level to fit the lock.

Probably a good job because this hardstanding service pitch has loose hardcore just hoping it finish when we get there next week 😏

I’m sure the delivery company or site staff will pitch it for you and fit the lock.

95% of the time I fit the Alko hub Lock,but if I have to level with a ramp that side and the wheel spokes do not line up with the receiver,I then fit the Wraith which just goes on the special wheel bolt fitted.

I think it might be one or the other because at this seasonal site entrance there is electric gates they open and then you are suppose to park near the reception because into the site there is barrier that lifts and that comes with a fob .

Why do you need to level to fit a lock?

I meant if you are on a sloping pitch and want to level the caravan, and then fit the AlKo wheel lock.

 

[borderbilly]

when i am on pitch i never use a security device on van.

Well you should either a hitch lock or a wheel clamp for the peace of mind

Does your insurance co not require security devices on the van when unattended or do you never leave your van when on site 🤔

Insurance does not require

 

[Dustydog]

Insurance does not require

Because you have a nest of these

The caravan dealer dropped our caravan at the arranged time on Tuesday and back it on our fully service pitch and next minute the Al-ko wheel lock was on , so far very happy with it . Also it come with a manufacture alarm and a tracker .
