5th wheel king pin lock
While having concrete poured for parking RV at the house, I need to put it in storage. Placed is gated and all but what do y'all use for king pin locks? I don't want to spend a fortune on it...

- At the price of fifth wheels I would get the best I could buy.
- Mine's made by Husky. Real simple design and inexpensive, think I paid about 30 bucks.
- I bought one for about $35 and use it whenever 5ver is not hitched to TV for peace of mind. My 5ver is stored in front of my barn inside a fenced yard and still locked. Keep the key with the RV keys not the TV keys.
- Don't use one.

We're happy with this one.
X2. Have been using this one for four years. Our fiver sits in our backyard always keep it locked. Easy on and off and a good visual deterent.- Could always get one at a semi trailer supply place or ask Ryder/Penske about where to get them. Probly more HD than ones from CW I'm guessing.
- Keep in mind if someone wants it bad enough they will get it. This will make the thief move to an easier target.
Years ago one of our storage lots in Atlanta was broken into, we used a 553 foot semi trailer with the kingpin lock to block the entrance, the thieves backed under it anyway and enough of the lock caught in the fifth wheel and they were able to get away with it. They went down the road and cut it with a torch and the trailer was gone. The cut lock was found but the trailer never was. - We have used one since having our first 5th wheel.
