Coupler Lock

I will be storing my trailer in sort of a secluded area that is not fenced. I understand no lock will keep a determined thief at bay, but would like a deterrent. I will also have a wheel lock. There are many on Amazon and since I do not have the trailer yet I am unsure what model to get. The trailer is a 2016 27BHS.

Most locks are just minor deterrents. This is about the best I could find. https://www.megahitchlock.com/
Here's another lock, not as good as above.
Robot Check

Both will fit the Jayco coupler. Most that you see on Amazon and such won't fit the Jayco coupler flange.

Thanks Dale, do you feel the megahitch is worth the extra cash? That is a substantial price difference. Plus I will have a wheel lock.

I used the trimax UMAX50

I thought this was a good balance of value and function.

Dale said none of the locks on Amazon will work?

I got it off amazon. Read the customer reviews. This was one of very few coupler locks I found that would work on my trailer at the time with that flange.

Is there any terminology to look for when trying to purchase a hitch/coupler lock? I bought this: Model No. 389DAT | Master Lock thinking that it would slide apart, but it doesn't so of course it almost but doesn't quite fit over the flange on my Jayco (which seems to be wider than most?).

Do they just make them extra wide, or is it a specific name/style?
