dunefreak Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I have the style lock that has a ball that fits into the ball coupler then has a piece that slides over the lip of the tongue that locks, but that one won't fit on my new toyhualer. The tongue lip is larger on this trailer. I bought one of these... but that one didn't fit either. So what I am looking for is one of these... Steveo, isn't that the style lock you have? Where did you get yours? Carson Trailer on Boulder Hwy? I am curious how the rest of you lock up your trailers (as far as the hitch/ coupler goes) Quote
lvnalolife Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) I have one of these! Master Lock about $25. Edited March 28, 2006 by lvnalolife Quote
dunefreak Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 I have one of these! Master Lock about $25. That's the one I have that I was talking about- won't fit on the new t/h Quote
lvnalolife Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 That's the one I have that I was talking about- won't fit on the new t/h :huh: Do you have the one made for the 2 5/16 ball or the smaller one for the 1-7/8" & 2". That could be the difference. Quote
dunefreak Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Do you have the one made for the 2 5/16 ball or the smaller one for the 1-7/8" & 2". That could be the difference. That makes no difference in this case. I do hva ethe one for up to 2 5/16" but the lock is too small to reach around the lip of the tongue. Here is where it is too small... This one fit on my other toyhualer w/ a 2 5/16" ball coupler, but not on the new monster. :huh: Quote

dunefreak Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Craig, you did mean one of these right? Quote
EY3BA11 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 pete just take a 2 5/16' ball and CUT the nub off so all you have is a ball to stick up in there... then stick a lock thru the top part of the coupler.. they cant release the coupler to get teh ball out since there is a lock on it... granting nothing a pair of bolt cutters couldnt fix but anything to help deter someone..

Not theft proof enough :huh: I don't want to rely on a small lock through the latch. I want one of those big ol locks Quote
wingnut Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Yep one of those. I'll call u when I get there Quote
EY3BA11 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Not theft proof enough :huh: I don't want to rely on a small lock through the latch. I want one of those big ol locks Its a option Quote
dunefreak Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 can I interest you in an alarm system? :huh: Yes you can, Terry. I was gonna put one of those on the new house on wheels. I'll let you know when I'm ready. Quote

That's a good idea. Is that how you lock up your trailer? :yeah_whatever: Quote
EY3BA11 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 what trailer... im a poor white kid that grew up in a border town in a doublewide... !! And yes that method has been used before... like i said IT AINT PERFECT SECURITY but it will deter someone... just makes it harder and more likely for them to get noticed!! Quote
dunefreak Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 Just got my new lock last night....thanks to wingnut You da man! He picked one up for me and even brought it over last night since he was on my side of town. Thanks again, Craig. :smiley: Quote
