Securing a trailer

[Vodkagirly]

Hi Picking up my first trailer on Sunday and ridiculously excited. Its not flash but I'm planning to bring it home for a bit to get it scrubbed up a few minor repairs done. I'm aware that they are very easy to steel so how do you secure yours?

I have a tow ball lock as apparently the wheel locks can be dragged? (so my mechanic said!) x

Keep the wheels at home

The only things you can do is

1. hitch ball lock

2 wheel clamp

3, take all wheel nuts off

4. post code the roof

5 post code the outside of the trailers ( if you have hoof brands they can do this )

6. fit a tracker to it

7 fit one of those rods in the ground with paddolk so they cant get it out

8 wedge it in behind field machinery

9 if at home park your car in front of it

10 put your postcode on the underside of the floor

11 take wheels off

12 put graphics on it so more obvious

13 paint a sign saying your license plate and if anything else is towing it its stolen

thats all i can think of at moment

I'm lucky that mines is kept in a secure garage. I guess the best thing to do is make sure its insured! :-( x
