Having difficulty finding which AL-KO wheel lock will fit a new 2021 Swift Challenger 580.  The AL-KO web site has not yet been updated to include 2021 Swift Caravans. Would be grateful for any advice.

Sell it on Ebay and get a wraith or a nemisis. If you can even better have a look on ebay or facebook for a bulldog max, fits the receiver, is far better than the Alko. 

The alko one is a dreadful item with the sole purpose of generating revenue for Alko. The buldog design proved you could have a universal design that was far better.

Am I allowed a +1 🙄🙄🙄

Mine's a twin axle and aligning both wheels to fit both Alko locks is a pain in the proverbial.

 One of the reasons I had E&P hydraulic levelling fitted - but I must admit it's a bit of an extreme solution if that's the only reason. Now, it's an absolute doddlesmile

It is no trouble to fit the Alko locks on a twin axle with a mover.  I do it often enough. Even with levelling blocks. Details on request.

We have a twin axle and a mover and still find fitting both Alko locks a pain! We can get one in position with the mover but always have to jack for the second wheel.  We have considered a different lock for the second wheel but can’t justify the cost of something else at present.

We currently use  nemesis ultra wheel lock which has a receiver and is much like the alko lock only universal. eg, you don't need a special lozenge.  We've never had an issue lining it up in storage or on pitch either.

I hope this helps
