Locking hitch pins for 5th wheel hitches?
I would like to secure my 5th wheel hitch in the bed of my truck using locking hitch pins. Are they universal? Does anyone have any experience using them? Any advice would be appreciated.

You guys must live in a magical place where nobody has anything stolen, Amazing! I was parked with my fiver in a walmart parking Lot, Portland Ore. Buying some supplies for my stay in Mt. Hood. I was coming out to my Rig and 2 Guys popped out of the Bed of my truck and ran like Hell. They had the Landing gear down and the Hitch Plate half removed and All the Rail pins pulled....Another 10 min. and my hitch would have been gone.I have Locking pins all the way around now, and I don't leave my rig ANYWHERE without a chaparone now. If y'all haven't been hit yet, count yourself lucky.They'll find you.... Oh, yeah, this happened last month. Now you've heard of one.....
Thanks for the report and glad you got out in time to scare them off. I posted the pic of the lock and we have them all the way around. Peace of mind. Plus, someone always chaperones the rig, not to mention the big black dog that goes with it! :B
