Did a search for Kingpin lock and King Pin Lock here and got no hits, so I'll just ask. What pin locks are recommended? I don't feel especially comfortable with no deterrent on there. I also don't want something cheap, like the Reese ball hitch lock that anyone with a bar can snap off in seconds. Conversely, I don't want to drop several hundred dollars on a lock that isn't worth that much.Input appreciated. Thanks.

I have this one...happy with it Link.........

Better safe than sorry and all that.When full-timing, this goes beyond our 'rv' and becomes our 'home'. I'd hate to find out it was going down the highway behind someone else's truck. :)

I’m part of the crowd that isn’t toooo concerned about it. Still, I do put a padlock on my EZ Chocks so it would take a “little” effort. If this was a serious concern, I think a ‘boot’ on one of the wheels would be best deterrent AND best real prevention.

the good things about the one that I posted...it keeps the greasy area covered and has a flag to help avoid walking or driving into the king pin.

I use the same one. With grandkids that run before looking it provides a warning to them more that I’m concerned about theft.

Personally, if I were =truly= concerned about theft, I'd have an alarm system and/or a hidden self-contained GPS unit on-board with cell capability to "call home".
