I guess you have not read my repeated posts saying that there is NO WAY to lock the RV to the Andersen. Sure you can push and twist and a joker can twist and pull. That is my POINT!!!
Along the lines of product improvement, Andersen could easily address this issue too. The locking mechanism is nothing more than an engagement pin attached to the pin box coupler that simply slides underneath the fat part of the raised GN ball. Andersen could make the engagement pin longer and allow it pass all the way through the coupler, then add a hole on the end large enough to fit a padlock or lynch pin. This would keep it from working itself back out.
On my conventional Reese hitch, I never did anything more than lock it in place with with the lynch pin, and I'm guessing most people only do as much.
