Cost of caravan anti-snaking system to increase

THE cost of having the AL-KO Kober anti-snaking device fitted to a caravan is increasing from April.

Currently, it costs £399.50 including VAT and fitting to have the ATC Trailer Control System retro-fitted to a caravan but this will rise to £400 plus VAT (equalling £470) from April 2.

The rise comes after the end of the “introductory offer” announced at the launch of the system last year.

AL-KO has also appointed a company called CMI as its authorised home fitment agent which means the system can now be fitted to caravans parked on customers’ driveways rather than at one of two UK sites previously.

The system works in a similar way to ESP on cars and monitors for instability and applies the caravan’s brakes if snaking is detected. It won Accessory of the Year in the 2008 Which Caravan Awards.

Marketing Manager Paul Jones said: “We decided to extend the introductory price offer beyond the recent National Boat Caravan and Outdoor Leisure Show to give our customers the opportunity to book their vehicles in.”

The retrofit can be made to any caravan with an AL-KO chassis.
