Locking hitch pins for 5th wheel hitches?

[VegasBT]

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.

I not only have never heard of anyone having a hitch stolen (or even "messed with"), I have never met anybody who has ever heard of such a thing.

Suit yourself, but it seems like a huge waste of time and effort for little or no potential return.

I made my own using a bolt and drill. Installed a pad lock in the hole. I considered it a waste of time and did not secure my new one. Never heard of a hitch being stolen. I have insurance if it is.

Been using this set up with padlocks.

I drilled out the pin hole to 3/16" and put a small long shackle padlock on each pin. Does not make it theft proof, but hopefully discourage a potential thief. If they want it you can't hardly stop them, but possibly make them decide to look for easier pickings. JMHO, 🙂
