Working on my gates today when a very new looking R/Rover towing a very new looking van pulled up briefly in front of the house but what drew my attention was the fact that a hitch loch was on in fact it was almost certainly an Alko unit or very similar, being new to all this I just wanted to know if this is normal as I have only previously seen them fitted whist the van is static .

C&P I have an Alko hitch, are they all 3004's are these quite common place ?

Thanks all, it was the safety/roll over that concerned me maybe this guy was delivering the van and just wanted extra security ?

 I always leave mine on when travelling, as Mick say's if vehicle flipped it will stay on whether hitch lock is on or not, have a look at the banger racing when they race caravans not many come off. As for emergency services in the event of an accident if you flipped and was trapped inside they are not going to right you before they get you out ! Do people leave them off thinking they are going to have an accident everytime they take caravan out !!  People nowadays hijack vehicles at traffic lights/ halt signs, who knows what they might take next ?
