Thanks for all advise.....I was in law enforcement 42years and I know the criminal mind....I'll get that locking pin set.....

Don't need a set, just get 1. The pin you put through the receiver to hold the bar in place, get one that has a key on a black box you attach to the end. No key, the black box doesn't come off, the pin can't be removed.

That sounds good.....heading to PEI in July......and I wanted to do all the safeguards since I'm new to towing.....

The best safeguard is to check all those connections every time before you pull out. You don't need all those special locks and if you do want locks go to Lowes and get some padlocks. They will work better than the pin locks!!! My Blue Ox towbar is bolted on the back of the coach's receiver. I never heard of anyone stealing a towbar, but all those years in law enforcement, you know it someone wants it, there isn't a lock out there that is going to stop them!!!
