I turned on the alarm and tapped it but it doesn't seem to work. Whats wrong?
To allow you to leave the trailer and to let the sophisticated sensor settle, the alarm waits for forty-five seconds to arm itself.

Trailer with the corner steadies down
only gale force winds which move the
whole vehicle should trigger the alarm.

Yes. It does with the
Caravan Club and some other insurers. Check first; it is sometimes classed as a
'tilt alarm'.

Yes, when the alarm is attached to its special bracket, the bracket can swing
away allowing full opening of the jockey wheel clamp.

It should not be positioned on the sides of the vehicle.
It is most effective when mounted either on the jockey-wheel or as close to the drawbar as possible.
