Hi all.... I have a simple question... I have a hitch lock which fits through the hitch locking the handle so it cannot be raised in order to hitch the boat to the tow ball. Now my question is this. Is it safe to use the lock instead of the pin that normaly goes through this hole as to "lock" the trailer to the truck. ( i have a locking hitch pin too). The reason I ask is because I am origional from England and I towed a RV ( caravan as they are called over there) I was once stopped for having the hitch lock attached and given a warning luckily not a ticket as its seen as dangerous. I was told if the RV turns over and its attached to the truck it will turn the truck over too if its locked to the hitch. In England you see a lot of accidents with Rvs on thier sides ... and some flip the tow vehicle too...
So... back to my origional question... to the hitch lock or just use the pin in the tow hitch whats the best advice....
