If you have a look on the Alko Website, http://shop.al-ko.co.uk/ you will probably find the model type or number for your hitch & stabiliser on there which will give you a starting point.

 Genuine Alko hitch locks are also on there but can be bought elswhere cheaper, but are still around £80. Cheaper makes are available & second hand on e bay sometimes.

Whatever you decide on, a hitch lock alone does little to secure a caravan, as it can be towed a short distance by lifting it with a loop of short rope or cable so the hitch can be removed in a more secluded spot. A wheel clamp too is also really required, most insurance companies may well require both anyway. As with property, nothing prevents the determined thief but the bigger and better the secuity devices the greater the deterent.

We have a nemesis, its heavy but an insurance recomendated one.
