RV FEATURE
SAMURAI WHEEL CLAMP
This is the most compact option in the Fullstop wheel clamp range. It’ s designed to fit wheels up to 275R17.
Once in place, it’ s a simple matter of tightening the arms of the clamp around the wheel. You do this by turning a hex screw with a supplied tool. Once the arms are tight, you then fit the barrel of the lock, turn the key, and your van isn’ t going anywhere – at least not without causing a heck of a ruckus with power tools or jacking up the trailer and swapping the wheel.
If you’ re concerned about the Samurai’ s steel arms scratching up your shiny mags, they come with rubber covers.
Side note: if you like the price, portability and ease of use of the Samurai but would feel more comfortable combining it with a hitch lock, there are Fullstop kits available that include a Samurai wheel clamp and either a Saracen lock, Saracen Off-Road or Saracen Ultra hitch lock.
Price: $ 173.99( Samurai only)
NEMESIS
One of the key benefits of the Samurai is that it’ s relatively light and very quick and easy to fit. However, it doesn’ t cover the wheel nuts so, in theory, a determined thief could overcome the Samurai by swapping the locked wheel. That’ s why Purpleline, the company behind the Fullstop range, developed the Nemesis. Think of it as the Samurai’ s big brother.
The‘ clamp’ section of the Nemesis is very similar to the Samurai. The crucial difference between the two is the special, separate arm that attaches to the body of the clamp. This arm contains a wide steel plate at one end that covers the wheel nuts, making it impossible to access them to remove the wheel.
