Hi,

Just changed my caravan for a Compass that has a Winterhoff WS3000 hitch.  My previous caravans have had Alko hitches and i can't work out how to "flatten" the stabiliser handle when it isn't hitched to the caravan. I have tried pushing it down but it seems as though it is locked in position.

When hitcginh the stabiliser engages as you would expect and everything seems fine

I am looking to buy a hitchlock, but the type I want looks as though the handle is locked down in the towing position and as they are quite expensive i want to make sure I know it will fit.

Any help gratefully received 

Thanks for the replies - just tried the Alko safety ball in the hitch and "hey-presto" the handle locks!!

I can go and get the hitchlock now - thanks again
