What type of hitch is it?  We have a Stronghold Strongbox & the camper is still there. 

96

 It fits when un-hitched & says in it will fit whilst hitched & parked, but in practice there is not enough space.  We rely on the built in barrel lock in the ALKO hitch whilst parked.  Have seen similar at ALDI last year for £10, but they don't get their camping gear in until later in the season.

Hi
When we are parked at services etc
I use a chain wrapped in fabric and long looped padlock
I wrap it round the a frame and then loop it through my towbar and wrap it until its tight.Then i return the loop to the a frame and padlock both ends together. its impossible to get the chain from round the towbar. It takes 2 mins to put on.
Failing that, her indoors goes to the loo, and then I go afterwards!
Just remember.....if they want it....they will take it,no matter what you use.
good luck
