Howdy all,
I'm looking at a decent trailer hitch lock, a ball type for my caravan.
I've heard too many unfortunate stories lately of people loosing their trailers and caravans.
As I am now leaving my caravan at the front of the house I am a bit worried.
Sooo, what is a good one from your prospective??
I've seen these on eBay but they seem a bit cheap and I'm not sure if they are bullet proof.
Anyone have any knowledge on these or others???
Borrow andys chain mate that,ll scar,m off lol
or take the wheels of one side
Yeah, I'm thinking a chain as well but these look pretty easy. Taking two wheels off is just not an option Roofy...you know I'm lazy...LOLQuote:

sit it on stands and take some wheels off
X 2 with above drop in your local locksmiths they will have chain that wont break ever plus wiz bang padlocks.
Thinking the hitch helmet being cast may just need a decent whack with a hammer to shatter, just a thought
Crime rates in the ACT wouldn't be that high would they? Apart from the crooks on the hill that is!Quote:

They look like a standard 50mm ball, instead of thread Its the key barrel.
Could also have dreamt it... :what:

Google the "AL-KO Universal Coupling Lock"
Tough and more than just a visual deterrent.
What about a padlock using the lock block on your coupling?
You're safe mate....... :)Quote:
