Hi all

After a long and bitter search i have finally found a caravan and wonder if someone more experienced than I could help me

The caravan is an Elddis Avante 630 2002 and I thought when i went to view that it was fitted with an Alko stabiliser/hitch lock - turns out this is not the case

Having arranged to collect and pay for the caravan tomorrow and taking a day of work in the process I wonder if the hitch will fit my Alko towball.......I have asked the seller but have not got a response and wondered if any one can help or point me in the right direction.....being a complete caravan newbie I have no idea what i should be looking for to confirm compatability

Any help greatly greatly appreciated!!

    ^ this is an Alko stabiliser....isnt it???

The ALKO tow ball is the same as a satandard tow ball just taller and the gap between the ball and bumper is bigger, so yes you will have no problem at all.

Cheers

For insurance i need a hitch lock....are they easy to fit?

Fitted mine in around 15 minutes and when i picked it up in January, just remember when you remove the original hitch hold the brake damper back (i used a screwdriver) till the new hitch is ready to go on then as you push the bolt through let the screwdrver fall/slide out.       Very easy to fit a hitch lock also.
