Just wondering if anyone has experience of using corner steady locks on Eribas?

Can't go for a heavyweight super dooper wheel clamp so I'm looking at combining a few lighter options.
Not sure whether the new Eriba corner steady is industry standard or something else.

I saw these advertised recently and thought they were an excellent idea; not too expensive, look easy to fit/remove and therefore well worth trying a couple (on diagonal opposite corners?)

For our new Troll GT 540 I bought the Nemesis Ultra wheel lock; it's super easy to fit/remove eg along with the tow ball hitch-lock pop it on in motorway service station carparks. The Nemesis is Thatcham cat 3 rated...

Interesting associated issue - I gave Caravan Guard details of the new van and when the total value insured - van, equipment and contents - exceeded £25K they insisted on home storage security of either an Al-Co axle lock storing van behind a locked fence or similar.
My enquiries established that it is not possible to fix the Al-Co axle lock to Eriba Touring caravans... Caravan Guard did not know that, so I am going through a specialist agent for similar premium with a slightly higher excess above £25K.

Hope this helps.

I have used these and found them easy to fit and to use

Corner steady locks - as in locks, for corner steadies?
It can be a right mare to get the things off at the best of times

Whatever will they think of next?

Never get them on the front of mine

When I got my first Eriba Touring I was rather disappointed not to find .303 Brownings mounted behind each of those holes.

Don't pull the triggers while its still hitched up

Interesting - I was under the impression that using the the Nemesis Ultra was not possible on Eriba wheels due to the profile of the locating nut not being the same as the the wheel. Something to do with round and tapered nuts on steel rims?

The SAS item looks interesting as it does not expose the essential part of the clamp to attack with a portable angle grinder.

We use SAS locks on all four steadies. They're easy to fit and use. They do not make the van completely secure (if you get under the van with a mole grip you can still raise the steadies but it would be a real faff and time consuming) so we still use a wheel lock and hitch lock. I think they are a good deterrent as they will slow down any potential thief, hopefully they will just move on.

We seem to be obsessed with caravan security in the UK when compared with our continental cousins.
........
To date, I have only ever heard of one Eriba being stolen so either all these anti-theft measures are really effective or organised gangs of dedicated Eriba thieves are a figment of someone's fevered imagination.

re Nemesis Ultra... fits onto the alloy rims of our new, 2017 model, Troll GT 540.

Compatibility may well depend on the design of the wheel, alloy or steel ie the locking bar has to be able to go through the wheel; spokes should be OK but holes will need to be large enough (eg in steel rims)

I think you're spot on Mr Calder but (there's always a but) we really would be very upset if our beloved Puck was stolen and whilst we might be able to get another one it wouldn't be 'the one'. The very first day we took delivery of our Puck we pitched up at a site near Poole. The site owner quickly guessed we were new to caravanning and proceeded to tell us that we really did need to take every precaution we could to deter thieves and then went on to tell us some very scary stories of how caravans had been stolen from under the very noses of van and site owners. She was only the first of several site owners we have met over the past few years who have given us this advice. I would love to dispense with all the kit and rigmarole associated with security but like a lot of junkies I can't kick the habit.
