I am looking for some advice, we are just buying our first twin axle caravan which comes with one wheel lock however when i called the insurance for a quote some were insisting on it having two wheel locks and they need to be fitted on the same side.

does anyone else have two wheel locks on theirs and if so what type ?

Depends on the type ED.   The one we bought in case I could not fit the second AlKo on our sloping driveway is one that cannot be fitted to the wheel that has the mover on it.

As it turned out, I was worrying unnecessarily and have no problem fitting the second AlKo as I have made ramps for the rear wheels to level up the van, so the  slope is of no consequence.

I should really sell the wheel clamp!

Alko wheel locks on our Bessacar TA as KjellNN says, not too difficult to fit when using a trolley jack. Not much room for error when fitting them though.
