Hi wa8yxm,
The locks have a hardened steel rod that is loose inside the center of the pin. When you try to use a cut off wheel the rod just spins. I think it is too tough for a bolt cutter as well. That leaves a torch as the only solution for the lock part.

My new generator clam shell rack will have two of them, and dual receiver locks with the same technology.
Of course it only slows down a determined thief, but it may be noisy and time consuming. They can move on to the next RV instead.
