• Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Like # BDGN240200 Is Difficult To Operate
  Since the # BDGN240200 is a weld-on application. I am not sure if it would be easy to just change out the coupler on your trailer as it will require cutting and grinding to prep for the new weld.

• Recommended Coupler for Bulldog GN24 Coupler
  I spoke with my contact at Bulldog and he informed me that there isn't really a great way to lock the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head # BDGN240200. What you will need to do is jack your trailer high enough that no one could hook up to the trailer and then lock the jack handle in such a way that the trailer can't be lowered. For a cable lock that would work well to lock the handle you could use the Master Lock Python Cable Lock # 8419DPF.

• How to Hold Latch of BDGN240200 Gooseneck Trailer Coupler in Place While Lowering Trailer onto Ball
  The Bulldog # BDGN240200 is perfect for this application, as it's self latching. Lower the coupler onto the gooseneck ball and the coupler will self latch once it hits bottom on the ball. To un-latch and hold the coupler open, I'd recommend using a bungee cord like # 348509, put one hook in the hole on the latch handle and the other hook to a tie-down in the bed or a stake pocket.
