'There's no such thing as too much tow vehicle!' We use a tripod stabilizer when it's parked in storage.

We just bought a King Pin lock for use when we go out with the fiver. CraigĢ012 Dodge 3500 DRW CCLB 4wd, custom hauler bed.Ģ008 Sunnybrook Titan 30 RKFS Morryde and Disc brakes I used a chain and padlock on my pin when I used to park it in the front. I also use a lock over the pin when I'm not pulling the trailer. I use a longer shank padlock on the king pin latch, and small padlocks on all of the pins that hold the hitch into the bed. For a head bonk, it didn't hurt as bad as the bare pin did either. It also has an added benefit of acting as a grease protector should you rub your clothes on it. It works great cause my pin has yet to be stolen Another reason my 40k rig is insured for 80k. If someone comes during broad daylight, pulls in the slides, disconnects everything outside and leaves with my trailer without getting caught, kudos to them. Some of them are the same as the big trucks use, but I don't use one. Happy camping!!! See ya'll down the road!!!Ģ004 HOLIDAY RAMBLER PRESIDENTIAL 30' SCD 5'ER Are they the same size as the tractor/trailer king pins?

And he might even have 2nd thoughts when he realizes my Police Department name is engraved on them! They actually fit very well, and I think even a determined bad guy would have a problem getting them off. Before you start thinking naughty thoughts.what else is a retired cop going to use a set of handcuffs on! I wrap and lock a pair of my old handcuffs around the kingpin. I have and use a guardian, but have seen even a length of chain wrapped around a king pin with a standard masterlock.Ģ001 Dodge 2500 QC, Diesel, Auto, 4x4 Shortbox, Stull running boards, 26.5' Sundance 5er The tripod can't be separated from the kingpin without removing the padlock. My tripod stabilizer has two holes in the kingpin cup for a padlock. My understanding is the king pin is the same as over the road trucks use, for which there are some more expensive and effective locks. It will only keep the honest people honest, barely slow down a professional! I usually lock my unit, but don't really consider theft of the unit a big worry as it's a low end job. It is essentially a piece of pipe that slips over the king pin, and has pair of holes through which you slip a lock. I use a cheap lock system that camping world sells, about $20. I use a long shackle Master lock through the holes already in the pull handle. I am waiting for my 5er to come in, does anybody use king pin locks?
