Best to bite the bullet and get the genuine Alko hitch lock. They are expensive but fit easily, are secur and look good.
I've used several wheel clamps over the past 20 or so years and by far the best for fit, weight, security is the Nemesis Ultra.
Both these units are insurance approved and available second hand on the likes of e-bay and gumtree (usually cheaper) and is where I have sourced mine.

Colin’s suggestions are gold plated but if you are feeling the pinch having just shelled out for Troll 540, Milenco wheel lock and hitch lock seem to satisfy most insurance companies. Professional thieves will get past anything so your best protection is really a secure location, be it next to your home or in an approved CaSSOA storage site.

I had to have one of these removed by a mobile caravan mechanic recently (don’t ask!).

It took about an hour with an angle grinder, hammers, screwdrivers, drills and about 4 rechargeable batteries to get it off.

Had I known it was so secure I’d have bought the same model again. Instead I bought a more expensive one which feels much flimsier!

I used to use a Milenco on a trailer tent for a couple of years. Perhaps I was just unlucky as they are well made, but after spending an hour to get the thing off in a motorway service station I got rid of it

The Milenco was fiddly but I was truly impressed by how well it stood up to attack.

AlKo hitch lock and axle clamp same as Nemesis Colin has, is what we have, reduces insurance premium
