was shown 2 types of locks yesterday for caravan draw bar , one was like a ball that fits up inside the caravan coupling and the other like a frame that covers the top of the coupling . Which is the best option please ??
Only will keep out the honest thieves !!

Gooday,
You should be aware that a lock on the coupling is only going to slow down the Buggers, what they do is shackle the safety chain, or chains, short, drop them over the tow ball of the thieves vehicle form until they get clear of where they stole it and then get out a cordless grinder, if the hammer does not work, and hitch it up properly and off they go.
I have a Klampit Wheel clamp but they like most other precautions only slow down the experts. If you are able to concrete an anchor in the ground where you store it and put some decent chain around the axle they will most likely be too lazy to get under there and look for something easier.
Cheers,
