Hi,

I am fairly new to caravanning and have just purchased a used sterling europa 2008 model, I am looking for a Alko hitchlock for it but I am unsure which to purchase.

You need to find out what model stabiliser is fitted to your caravan first because if it's an AL-KO AKS 2000 (with the offset handle) then hitchlocks are very difficult to find due to being obsolete. However, do a Google search and click on 'Images' for AL-KO 1300, 2004, 3004 and the AKS 2000 then see which one is identical to what is fitted on your caravan. Once you know that then further advice can be given as to which hitchlock you need.

If you look on Google images you can see what stabiliser is fitted.

We use a maypole stronghold SH5412 on our Alko hitch although ours is an older version of the same model

Remember to use wheel locks as well. You could go the whole hog and get stabiliser lock as well.

I know you are new to the forum but if you ask a question and need advice then then you need to reply just as a matter of respect to see if any further advice is needed or if the problem is solved. There are a lot of experienced caravanners on this forum all willing to offer help but you need to keep the thread updated.
