The hitch lock you are referring to is this one . You will note that the site shown is Camperlands and in the description of the hitch lock it states "covers hitch head and securing bolts".

It does cover the bolts on the tow bar, but that is only intended for when you use the hitch lock whilst whatever is being towed is parked up. This is to ensure that whatever is being towed cannot be removed from the tow bar and the tow bar bolts cannot be removed.

You cannot leave it on whilst towing.

Hope it helps.

The camplet hitch bolts are easy to access even with this type of hitch lock.

For a visual detererrent,a trailer type wheel clamp  (for steel wheels) is probably the best way forward. As for the " if they want it,they will get it" way of thinking,that will not satisfy an insurance company,after all,you lock your front door at home,but someone driving a bulldozer could probably get in anyway.

hi,

When i spoke to them they said it was by alko and this was the only one that fit, you couldn't secure it to the car while stationary(services ect) and didn't cover the bolts so they could easily detach mine and replace it with another.

Think i might be worrying about this a little too much

The SAS one is exactly what i wanted so if it fits i'm happy

thanks for all the advice

Why do you need to cover the bolts on your hitch?

insurance said they required it for full cover

If I was in your shoes, I would be asking my insurance company what Hitchlock they would recommend to meet their requirements.

Once you have that information, please publish it on here because clearly most of us have never heard of a Hitchlock that covers the bolts as well.
