Caravan Winter Wheels Storage & Security Universal

Product Information

Although winter wheels are primarily designed for use when your caravan is in winter storage, some owners find that – with practice – they can be fitted reasonably quickly all-year-round.

The big boast from manufacturer JSB Hublock is there has never been a caravan (or trailer) stolen with the JSBs fitted in more than 15 years! Our caravan was in secure storage with both Alko wheel lock and JSB hu8block and both were cut off in a matter of minutes. I was thinking of removing the wheels and tyres from the caravan so as to reduce detrioration and fitting some winter wheels this winter.

Knowing the importance ofgood quality and long lasting wheels, we supply only the best from big name brands such as Starco.

Key features: British manufactured, steel construction, five-year guarantee, fits four- and five-stud wheels. Winter wheels are one of a number of devices you can add to your unit to improve caravan security and protect it from theft.This still allows you to fit a wheel clamp and would allow you to move the caravan, albeit slowly and short distance (perhaps repositioning in storage), if the need arose, without having to put the "real" wheels back on. The WL10 uses the same quality 25mm diameter locking bolt with case-hardened shaft and anti-drill centre, as used in Bulldog’s Sold Secure-approved locks. Owned by the Master Locksmiths Association, the largest trade body of its kind, Sold Secure is a subsidiary that acts as an independent testing house for security products, including those designed for caravans. Storing your caravan in one place during the winter months without caravan winter wheels can also subject your wheels to damage in the shape of flat spots and cracking mean you may have to replace your caravan wheels, a costly job.

THankfully the theives were disturbed and left the caravan with the pieces of burnt lock on the ground. If you’re jacking up your caravan to fit any security device, bear in mind the usual advice – never use your corner steadies as jacks and never go under your vehicle. Practical Caravan is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. It says its products have been designed to resist oxyacetylene cutting gear and can’t be removed by the usual drilling, grinding or brute force methods used by determined caravan thieves.

To take the hassle of choosing the different components, we also do complete caravan wheel assemblies inflated and ready to be fitted to your caravan. Would gladly swap for a pair of steel wheels with ancient/rubbish tyres that I could put on my van so I could remove my wheels! They’re suitable for all Al-Ko and BPW chassis’d caravans (four-and five-studs) and can be switched from one caravan to another. True, they involve removing your existing wheels, then putting them back on again when you want to travel, but you could – in theory – use them any time of the year and on any occasion when your vehicle is stationary for long periods of time.
