Alko wheel lock

thanks, I know this may sound strange to you but it's my biggest nightmare if I had to change a caravan wheel while towing

And offside would be even worse...

Isn’t that what mayday or Red Pennant is for?

Just tackle it like you would on your car ....a bit at a time .... is the ground firm enough to jack on? will anything move/fall when you jack? Slacken bolts/nuts before you lift If you don't feel confident let your recovery help.

Changing an offside wheel on the motorway isn't pleasant when you have vehicles a few feet from you .... only ever done it a couple of times in 40 yrs

In a perfect world you would have the car attached to the caravan for stability .... unfortunately, as in your case, it's not always possible to connect the two. I jack my twin axle to fit the wheel locks, and ... so far .. it's not moved. You just have to be careful and jack the caravan the minimum required to spin the wheel.

As you only have to lift the wheel a few inches off the ground, does the other wheel on that side not stay on the ground. I only have a single axle
