    Sounds like your a little tight so what about this idea as it will solve both issues you have with your caravan and cost nothing!

    1, Take a wheel off and nobody can steal the van!
    2, Take a wheel off then you have a spare and don't have to try and find one!

    I'm quite the problem solver when there's a tight budget!

    I'll have a guillotine coupling lock somewhere in the scrap pile that will fit.

    This would be easy. A lot of towbars have interchangeable fittings that telescope inside the towbar base. Why not do the same with the coupler ??

    I've seen your caravan. I'd not worry locking it
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    If it is light enough to turn around then park it with the drawbar against a wall. My caravan is a tandem with motor movers so its easy for me. It won't stop someone determined to steal it but it will take them time and effort to turn it around to hook it up and that might be deterrent enough.

    Only security that works is wheel clamp

    A thief that’s made his own tow ball bracket (15 inches wide) uses two short chains, one around the box section either side of the front coupling, lowers the jockey wheel to put the caravan weight onto the chains and drives away, he doesn’t need to use your coupling as the short chains take the weight and pull the caravan

    Clamp that wheel or wheels tight

    Complete with bushmasters and glocks, funny how they’re called “bushmasters” and not “Deadly Killing weapons”
