Eddie I take it that its OK

I went to Maplins a few months ago and they had removed them from sale at that time for testing.

They sound a good idea

Hi Michael I saw that too

I'll put it on the list

Portable Rollers  Alkoclamp Wheel Needs Spinning or PRAWNS to you

Titanium would work well as weight would be a factor

not easy to weld that stuff,used to make aero engines with it (flame tubes)

It doesn't seem to be listed here and as its got steel wheels I would think it unlikely that the BPW chassis has the Alko lock receiver which I thought the Bulldog Max needed

Use the motor mover to get it lined up.  Never had a problem with it.

Yeah i can see how that helps, we had a demo on them when we collected the van Saturday

 

Hi, yes but no but....We have a motor mover and the device is easy to fit in storage, with a concrete floor. When on site however, using a leveller it ain't so good.

I guess a jack is the only real option then.

I've just renewed the caravan insurance through the C & CC and they are giving 20% discount if the van has the Alko wheelclamp

That's great John and it suggests they actually work, assuming they don't load the premium beforehand........sorry, I'm one of the world's biggest cynics!!

I advise everyone to fit the proper wheel lock however awkward it is to fit & to go for the proper alko unit forgetting trying to save a few quid.

Our 6 month old Pgeant was nicked from our drive about 0445 on 01-03-07. It had a alko hitchlock on, two leglocks & a Milenco wheel clamp. Due to it being the series 5 it can't have the alko lock & we had no choice but fit a wheel clamp. It was twisted off like a pipe cleaner, The hitchlock was levered off, breaking the lugs off of the casting of the hitch. They had the van away from under three open bedroom windows & we never heard a thing.

Lucky for us, the police found it 30 miles away on a diddie camp & phoned our dealer. The dealer checked his log & phoned us & I had the van back to him at 1855 on 02-03-07. This wouldn't have happened if we had the alko lock on, we've been to the dealer today & he's adapting the axle to take the alko lock & I hope people learn from our experience & only buy & fit the very best available. A tenner saved in your pocket is no good to you if you have no caravan to go away in.
