Trailer - Wheel clamp / hitch lock?

[SDH]

Oh i've just bought a trailer. How exciting

Well haven't actually got it yet, pick it up saturday.

Anyway .... what do you use for security? Hitch lock? Wheel clamp? Both?

Pros / cons .... any other thoughts please?

not sure what thread says but double check with your insurance company most say need to have wheel clamp but if you specify you can get changed to hitch lock which i presonnal bleieve is better (bulldog are good)

happy trailering

How excting! Wheels

Def check with insurance company and chuck on all the visible deterents you can, but DO NOT just use a wheel clamp. My Hub has seen trailers stolen when just wheel clamps used. The theiving ***'s still hitch up and drive off with the clamps on, until they wear through and break and they don't seem to bothered if anyone can hear

I have a Bulldog hitch, which does the job but is the most horrendous fit of a hitchlock I've ever know, I have to wack it off and wack it on and my usually very placid OH refuses to go near it

There are locks that cover the whole of the hitch up - dont know who makes them, but they look good.

Enjoy your playtimes
