camping trailer security

[PoshTwit]

For our camping trip to Dorchester which is apparently (says the Mrs) in the New Forest (another story, not for here...) I have borrowed a chum's trailer.

What, in the Hive Mind's experience, is the best way of securing it once unloaded and unhitched?

We use a lock on the tow hitch, something like these http://www.thesafeshop.co.uk/Categories/tow-bar-hi...

Wheelclamp, chain & padlock (if there's something nearby to chain it to) or another vote for the hitchlock.

My old hitchlock died - jammed whilst locked in place(!) - so replaced with one of these : Hitchlock - only in yellow. It's handy in that it can fit over the hitch when coupled up so very handy at motorway services to make sure the caravan/trailer is still there when you get back from your McWhopperFlurryDelux.

Remember to take it off again befopre driving though!!

Magical.

Thank you chaps!

my adice for stopping at the services is for 1 person to remain on guard at all times, that should put off most casual theifs

Collected trailer this evening and it has a locking hitch on it, so will take a couple of D-locks for off-car security.

Thanks all for your input!
