Locking a trailer to a "swan neck" tow bar

[Origin Unknown]

Can't find the trailer sub-forum so posting here.

Any useful advice on locking a trailer to a swan neck tow bar? Needs to be something that can be used while towing too. This is the trailer and hitch if that's of any use.

I use a long motorcycle cable lock passed through a solid loop on the trailer and then padlocked to to the rear tie down eye on my Alhambra. The cable lock is long enough not to be too tight when turning sharply or reversing and the trailer has to be able to turn through a tight angle

Cheers. I've been doing something similar with the tow bar mounted cycle rack. However, the towing eye screws in so I have to be clever when routing the kryptonite lock cable to stop it just being unscrewed. Surely there must be something that clips over tow bar to stop it being uncoupled?

Second question, the loop at the front that chocks the wheel, anyone know what it's called and where to get one?

You mean that chocks the motorcycle wheel?

£57 for a mounting rail with the front loop bit, you might be able to get just that separate though.

They have a built in locking barrel, although you might need to buy the locking barrel separately depending on where you purchase from.

If you have a caravan dealer nearby , look at ALKO or BPW hitches,with associated locks , not cheap but if they are good enough for a caravan, I think you will find what you need
