I have just bought my first Caravan (Hate tents with a vencence). The caravan come with everything including the wheel clamp/lock however its a fiddly affair and I have a worry in trying to get the top bar above the wheel I will end up damaging the plastic wheel arch.... I have seen a few that look very simple and goto the ground only and not over the wheel top...can anyone recomend a decent one.......don't mind one bit paying however I could do with keeping both arms and legs.

What you need is an SAS wheel clamp. It doesn't go over the top, it locks on one of the wheel bolts then clamps round the rear side of the wheel and lies on the floor.

You are a star and they do the job well?

There is nothing better than picking the brains of those in the Know!!

Is that a good price too?

 

Thanks again

Thanks Michael

Thanks again peeps

You want to give me £40 for mine, and I always thought people in Yorkshire were always watching their pennies....Lol.

I have waited at least 2 years for this opportunity to get one at this price.

Ahhhh But I am a Herefordian from down there now living up here... as confusing as that american show "Soap"

Ordered the first one suggested in the delux case.

Howe easy was that aye!!

Well done Kev, you can't go wrong with an SAS or Milenco clamp as both are officially recognised by all touring caravan insurance companies. The SAS clamp is lighter than other clamps on the market though which is a bonus regarding the weight on the caravan payload. That's the main reason why I bought one plus I also found it frustrating with my old one like yours getting the bar over the top of the tyre especially if you have the older Coachman with the straight wheel arches instead of the standard curved type that follows the contour of the wheels.
