AL-KO Secure portable wheel lock is this the wheel clamp?? Yes just checked

Bailey branded wheel arch cover (single axle

Wrap around seating (model specific

Sorry to be a pain Niall

connection cable if ytoudo not have 13 pin on your car to adapt it for sale at any dealer if you dont no need for baileys.

atc is an extra that i belive applioes the brakes quickly if van gets a sway on an optional extra....

wrap around seating at front you will have chest of draws  may be in your model not looked if you do you can take out draws and put in this seating to make seatin at front c shaped with no draws in middle.

wheel arch cover erm no idea but i would sy its just another extra non essentil bailey branded

hope some of this makes sense or helps!!!

Yep thanks for that

ATc = just take your foot of the gas

wrap round seating = NO

Connection cable dont understand but will get checked out we only have a bog standard tow bar and one socket been on since 05.

Thanks for your help Simon

In your new 'van it has a small fold down table at the front, there is no chest of drawers or wrap around seating.  We prefered that as the front double bed is then much bigger but you still have somewhere to put a drink.

Our dealer told us that the new 13 pin adaptor would be £39.00

Have no idea about the wheel arch cover, all i can think of is when you have an awning up then you can cover the wheel arch as well as the bottom of the caravan but think that that would come with the awning??

hth

ATC is more effective than just easing off the gas as it brakes the caravan independently so will reduce a wobble much quicker than the car slowing down as well.

If you only have the 7 pin black connector on your car then don't bother ordering ATC as it will  not work if you dont have either a fully wired 13 pin or a twin 7 pin (black and grey).  BTW the grey connector is not needed to tow (apart from the ATC), it charges the battery and runs the fridge on 12v.  If you always go to electric hookup sites, then your battery will get charged there.

I agree with the Karim that a 13 pin connector is far superior to the twin 7 pins as the twist lock is much more secure than the push in 7 pin sockets.

Hi a very big thank you to you all for your help

Our Pageant has the 13 pin cable, the dealer supplied an adaptor.

The Alko wheel lock fits in the alloy wheel and bolts into a receiver on the chassis. Its is pricey but gives substantial reductions on some insurance policies.Very hard to get off apparantly.

There are alternatives that fit, Bulldog and Purple make them.

Al ko fit a blanking plug in the receiver which needs a tool to get it out ( they send it when you register the lock). I beleive the Bulldog lock has a tool with it.

Our van has the wrap around front seats, you can have a chest of drawers as an extra £200 I think). We did'nt bother.
