Locking Coupler Solution for Trailer with Anderson Ultimate Hitch Receiver Adapter

Question

Question:

I just bought a 2020 Grand Design Reflection 5th Wheel and had an Andersen Ultimate hitch installed by the RV dealer. Do you know of a lock that will fit the receiver to prevent tow-away theft? I called Andersen and they do not sell one.

Expert Reply:

There isn't a lock mechanism for the coupler portion of the Andersen Ultimate adapters like you found out when you contacted them. This is due to there not being a great way to lock the mechanism and the uniqueness of the system means the likelihood of a thief having the same setup on their truck is pretty unlikely.

In situations like this a wheel lock like the part # 288-02020 is your best option.
