Wheel lock when camping on site

Please don’t! They might catch on then the insurance industry will demand that we all fit them.

No. Neither.

My insurance requires hitch and wheel lock on site 

That’s not unusual for a caravan, David. Not normally so for motorhomes.

I always fit my Alko lock but with a Lock n Level it’s so easy. Also my hitch lock and put the alarm on at certain CLs. Always a good policy but unfortunately, if a thief wants tour caravan bad enough he’ll have it- these security items just slow them down! 

I wouldn't use a wheel clamp on a MH while on site, should you have to move it quickly (fire) then you wouldn't stand a chance of getting your vehicle out of the way. 

Would you put a wheel clamp on a car on site? 

Caravans I know some insurance companies insist on it so you have no choice, regards to fire on site it does happen, not often thankfully but just once next to you or near by is enough to make you think. Moving a caravan with legs down and possibly an awning quickly is not going to happen, just move car.

The caravan insurance policies I looked at only required a security device if you were leaving the van unattended for a period i.e. more than a day trip out.

Our caravan insurance (CAMC) only require one security device, although I think we can get a further discount if we fit an Alko wheel lock - we choose not to, out of convenience.

We always fit our hitch lock and wheel clamp on site so adhere to our insurance policy, not to fit them may give the insurance company a get out clause, just imagine your filling in a claim form and it comes to the part " were the security devices fitted to your caravan " and after reading the recent review on Exeter race course site you would be wise to do the same 

We also carry a lightweight wheelclamp we use when we stop at any motorway services for a break
