Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I register my Al-Ko Secure Wheel Lock key?

Call the registration line - 0870 7576788, or the alternative number 0044 1926 818500 - with your caravan's chassis number to hand, along with a password and the answers to three security questions. Keep your registration card somewhere safe afterwards.

Q: How do I prevent my caravan snaking while towing, and what do I do if it happens?

Load heavy items low down and centred over the axle(s), and keep tins, bottles or anything heavy out of the overhead lockers while towing. Spread the rest of the weight evenly, front to back and side to side. If snaking does start, avoid braking or trying to steer against it - just ease off the accelerator and let your speed drop gradually until it settles.
