I'm wondering what methods you use to lock your bikes up when you are staying in your 'van. Apart from locking them to fences, trees, inside the 'van or your vehicle etc. I like to leave them in the awning at night or when we go out and use a lock around the caravan wheel or through the chassis and around the bikes. But this has sometimes resulted in small dents and scratches in the side of the caravan. Usual there are three bikes of differing sizes. Is there a good place around the A frame that can be used perhaps?

How do you do it? Are there any devices that are available with this specific purpose in mind? Please let me know!

Hi. We lock ours to the chassis, on a 2 metre chain, so they don't rest against the van, we've been toying with one of these from Towsure as well.

We also have a chain at the other side, for the Aquarolls and Wastemaster, and a shorter length for our Milenco step.

I know its not very trusting, but if you add up how much to replace the kit you leave outside your caravan, not to mention the disruption to your holiday.

Big chain, big lock all wrapped aroung the A Frame (mine doesn't have a plastic cover on, so no scratches etc)

4 bikes, with lock through front wheels, stored in the awning when not used to keep them dry, with some material between handle bar rubber and van to prevent black marks.
