Question:
My truck has a Class V receiver. My RV has a Class IV. I have a reducer to convert my Class V to IV for my all of my racks. What I’m looking for is an anti-rattle device that will work with both and can be locked. My concern is the length of the pin accommodating both.

Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out!
The best option for you is the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL which can work both with 2" and 2-1/2" hitch receivers, but it does require that your accessories have a hollow shank. Class V hitches can be 2-1/2" or 3" so that's another factor that needs to be taken into account.
If you have a 3" receiver and a 2" receiver then you'll simply have to get combinations for both sizes like the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock # 34061074-D and Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp # GY65XR designed for 3" receivers. Let me know what hitch sizes you have as well as what accessories you're needing to carry and I'll be more than happy to see if we have more specific parts for you.
