Looking on the Al-ko website, it appears that the wheel lock is fitted to the n/s wheel.  Does the offside wheel also have the facility, or not.

I am thinking that, when an awning is erected, a potential thief could work undercover with the lock fitted to the n/s wheel.   When we get the new van, I will still fit our Thatcham-rated hardened chain to the opposite wheel, in addition to the Al-ko lock.

We have the unicorn Barcelona van and l hate these AL-LO wheel locks l asked my insurance company if l could fit high quality wheel clamps which would save jacking up the van while fitting 2nd wheel lock, their answer was no. Both AL-KO wheel locks must be fitted, otherwise policy would be null and void if van was stolen.

Any excuse not to payout .

l have put a question today do you have to fit hitchlock and wheel locks while on a ferry?
