Recommended Trailer Coupler Locks for Wide Coupler Security
Question:
Thanks for answering my question, but you provided a coupler lock not a coupler pin lock. The pin is the part that holds the latch in place and prevents it from moving and inadvertently opening the hitch. Normally this is a strait pin with a latching mechanism (but I’m looking for a lock to keep it secure to the tow vehicle). I’ve looked at items like the Tow Ready Trailer Coupler lock and an armored lock from Masterlock but they don't fit this trailer coupler (either throat of lock is too small or pin length is too short. I’ve also looked at items similar to Item # BL7025287 I but they’re pretty weak and don’t provide much protection (YouTube videos of lock lasting 2seconds with a pipe bending the lock off ). Any suggestions or a Coupler latch pin lock for Atwood 80060? Thanks again

For your Atwood Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler 80060, I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-318 or the Master Lock Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2", 2-5/16" Couplers # ML389DAT are both good options. The latter doesn't have any restrictions of the width of the coupler.
