Alloy wheels sink the nuts into deep recesses, and a standard socket wall is too thick to drop in beside them. A thin-walled socket clears the recess. If you have ever rounded a nut trying to get purchase at the top of the hole, that is why.
Most caravan and trailer nuts fall into one of those, which is why the socket is double-ended. Check with a spanner in the driveway rather than finding out on the gravel. If yours are neither, this will not help and you want a socket in your size.
For undoing, yes — 200mm of extra handle breaks nuts loose that would otherwise beat you. Going back on, it is easy to over-tighten and stretch a stud. Nip them up firmly by hand, then check with a torque wrench when you get somewhere you can.
