Have a look below the caravan door and there will be a plate with weights on related to your caravan. There will be the MIRO figure (unladen weight from the factory) and the MTPLM figure (maximum laden weight with all your personal effects etc.) It depends what the MTPLM figure is to what stabiliser you need. The Al-ko 1300 stabiliser is for caravans with an MTPLM up to 1360 kgs. and if the caravan is heavier then you need the 3004 model.
Get the 3004. The 1300 only damps sideways, The 3004 damps the pitch as well.

I didn't know that but that explains why the 3004 is a lot more expensive than the 1300 model. Is it designed for vertical damping because the noseweight on a longer caravan is heavier?
Hi stumpy Wanda homes Southcave east Yorkshire have sale on Alko gear if still any gear left over, saved myself £75 on wheel lock and ball hitch lock to suit 304 they were selling diy tow hitches at reduced prices but did not note prices as I was not interested except in the above, worth a look on net, just type wandahomes you may be lucky and save yourself a few quid. I have found them to be very helpful when sourcing spares even when not in stock and certainly cheaper than most suppliers.
