Hi Kurt; we haven't tested this before but it may be possible. The # RM-302 has a 1/4" shackle diameter with a shackle opening that is 3/4" wide x 1-1/4" tall. You can use these measurements to determine if it will fit your Blue Ox pins.

Have you thought about using the Blue Ox Base Plate, Tow Bar Receiver, and High-Low Adapter Lock Kit # BX88177? This is specifically made for their tow bars/base plates and replaces the pins with keyed alike locking pins. It also includes locks for your hitch and high-low adapter. The locking pins will be much harder to defeat when compared to the Roadmaster locks.
