I know one or two of you wonderful people may be able to help, gush, gush!!

We are going to pick up our neew Pathfinder on June 23rd and so have been looking at insurance (Busy reading past threads).

Now the insurance firm we are thinking of going with wants to know the name of the hitchlock we are using.  However, this is an item we have yet to buy so I wondered what was the best one to get and what sort (Seems there are different types).

Thanks for your help.

Hi

There are loads around as you have found out, make sure what you do buy is insurance approved. One example is the Milenco (http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=41) which has the Sold Secure approval stamp, which means it's insurance approved.

S.A.S wheel clamps.

these are a good wheel clamp . have got one of these and they come in a plastic box for storage . they clamp around the wheel by means of an allen key inside the clamp and over a wheel nut and then a lock goes into the hole where the allen key is so as they can't be removed.
