Hi

Sorry for the daft questions we are totally green to all this !

Do we really need to spend a shed load of cash on hitch locks ? which are the best to get ?

Hi Darren , it's worth buying some decent locks as a deterant , they will most likely be a requirement of your insurance policy . Check Ebay , free adds , etc   for second hand locks if you want to save money .

Hitch locks are not really that good as it is still possible to tie the hitch onto a car and tow it away with the hitch lock fitted, even if it is just to somewhere the theives can work undisturbed removing the lock.

Dont know what hitch clamp your using LDK but you cant do that with mine

believe they just tie a very thick rope round it and don't try to remove the lock.

"Also consider a hitch lock that you can lock when towing."

Has been spoken about on here before, and I think the majority thought it not a good idea. What if you were in an accident and the Rescue Services needed to unhitch your van and you are out for the count and can't tell them where the key is.

If i was out for the count, i think common sense would suggest that unhitching a caravan is not priority
