Hi
I've got a 2007 Bailey Ranger 550/6 with alloy wheels but not sure if my chassis has the needed receiver attached to it, how can I tell?
Does anyone have the reciever on their caravan that could email / post a picture so I know where / what to look for.
Thanks Neil

If you look at the wheel on the door side of the van, at about 2 o'clock there should be a tube with a yellow cover screwed into it.
I've not got access to my van at the moment, but if you take a picture, I'll let you know if I can tell.

Many thanks
I took these last night, they are the door side from behind and in front of the wheel. There is also a motor mover there.
I also know there are 2 options for the alko lock, 1 if you have a receiver, 1 if you have something already punched out, and 1 of you have nothing at all?

Hi
Unfortunately not. I'm going to bring it home from storage tomorrow for a clean so I'll check then.
Thanks for you help though.

I couldn't see a receiver plate either but it may have been the angle of the shot.
You should be able to see it looking at the wheel, its usually visible through the spokes of the alloy wheel. They only fit it on the near side of the caravan.

Why dont you try the excalibur through the wheel lock. It comes with its own receiver or if you change vans in the future it can use the alko receiver. Somerset caravans do it for £99 including the receiver .

Thanks I'll take a look.
I'll check the insurance as I know the ALKO gave me a 20% discount as it was Sold Secure Diamond.

The problem with the discount is that they aren't the easiest to put on and the one time it is left off the van might get stolen, with no insurance cover.

If you are considering another brand, check with you insurance Co. as only the Al-Ko has diamond status. The others are only gold rated and possibly won't qualify for the full discount------------- there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
