Since the Covid Pandemic hit in March 2020, travelling abroad has become increasingly difficult due to the continuing changes to the traffic light system.

This along with the high risk of self-isolation on return is making it unattractive to travel overseas.

In comparison, the number of people planning staycations in the UK has risen significantly.

The increased usage of motorhomes and caravans will naturally rise. But making sure that these are secure before, during and after usage is essential to your valuable caravans or motorhomes.

At Simplysafes we provide a fantastic selection of Wheel Clamps and Hitch Locks from Bulldog to match all your requirements.

 

 


Hitch Locks

A hitch lock for a caravan is just as crucial as the key for the door of the caravan in terms of security. The usage of a hitch lock prevents your caravan being hitched up and towed away by thieves.

When choosing a hitch lock it is crucial that the correct one is chosen and purchased so that it fits correctly and secures your caravan or trailer as it should. At Simplysafes we have over 20 different Bulldog Hitch Locks to choose from.

For each model we have added further documentation to each product to make it easier to identify the correct one you need.

If you are still unsure on the correct hitch lock that you require please contact one of our team and we can ensure the correct model is selected.

On the side of your tyre it should state a number for example - "225/75"
