Fiamma levellers with chocks for me! don't need the hassle of the alko wheel lock and got a BPW chassis anyway. I have a Nemesis wheel clamp from when we had the MH which I use along with a hitchlock and Milenco leg locks, works for me

Why do they call it a lock n level when it appears to be just a levelling airbag and I assume you would have to buy a separate lock?

Absolutely totally agree with you, the Alko lock is a total hassle, BUT some insurers insist on it if the van has the receptacle on the chassis, and most give a pretty hefty discount on premium if fitted, plus it is one of the most effective locks available.

Still don't like the blasted things, they turn a simple parking task let alone levelling into a right royal pain!

I agree, My new caravan came complete with an Alco wheel lock but I had to tell my insurance that I'm not able to use it at home, there was a big increase in premium but I paid as it is impossible to fit the Alco.. I park my caravan nearly touching a fence behind it, I can not move it back 5mm and if I move it forwards it will start to block the pavement. I now use an easier lock.

We camped for years. In 2019 we bought an Elddis Avante 454. We like it as it is short (6.9m) and fits in our driveway and has a fixed bed.
We had 127 nights away in the caravan in 2023.
