Hi
We have just bought a new Lunar Quaser 462 (2014) and we need a new wheel clamp or lock as our old one does not fit.
Any recommendations please for one that is not too difficult to fit.
Thanks

I got one of these, can be used with the original receiver or as a wheel clamp, which is handy if once you level up on site the receiver don't line up through the spokes.Shop around, this looks a bit more expensive than what I paid.

When you look at a lock think if you travelled miles to the van and need to remove it but forgot the keys could you get it off?

I can highly recommend this one from a company called Fullstop.

Nemesis Ultra Wheel Clamp

You don't get the discount to your insurance like you do with the ALKO wheel lock, but I have read some real horror stories about how difficult they are to fit. I have one on my single axel van and it takes seconds to fit.

Another vote for these. Very simple and quick to fit, but nice and secure.

The Nemesis ultra gets my vote too.

Don't forget with the Alko one if you change the van you will have to buy an alloy wheel specific fillet for the new van and these are almost as expensive as the Alko Wheel lock in themselves.

Oh and Checkley1973 we DO get discount on the insurance with the Nemesis.

Sorry senior moment Checkley 1973 it was in the bit from Shaggy2000 quoted in your post.

Fact remains you CAN get discount off your caravan insurance for using a Nemesis ultra.

Sorry for my confusion.

We were fortunate that ours came with an Alko Secure wheel lock. It is good but the receiver needs to be in exactly the middle of the sectors of the wheel.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

We use one on our twin axle. Trying to get both alko locks aligned is ridiculous so we use one alko and one nemesis. I can confirm the insurance companies accept it.

I need a new wheel lock as my current one weights around a ton and takes ages to 'line up' which is literally doing my back in! I've looked at the Nemesis Ultra, but read somewhere it wouldn't fit my 2006 Coachman Amara 530/4 as the brake drums are too large to allow the long bolt through. Does anyone know if this is true?

Could you not take it along to your local dealer and ask them to try one out?

We also use the Nemesis Ultra, very easy to fit and remove once set up, you have to fit shims but once done the lock works well.
