I will be getting my new 2021 TAB 400 Boondock Lite trailer in a week or 2 and I am looking to get a coupler and a wheel lock to secure the trailer while I am away. I came across this very informative post here - 
https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/131817

I decided to go with the Proven Industries coupler lock and the Brahma wheel lock. I am not able to figure out which is the right model for the coupler lock. Following are the 2 models that I found on their website - 

Model 2178 - https://www.provenlocks.com/collections/2-trailer-coupler-locks/products/model-2178
Model 2178-A - https://www.provenlocks.com/collections/2-trailer-coupler-locks/products/model-2178-a

Do both of these fit in a 2021 TAB 400? 

For the Brahma wheel lock, from their website, I found that Model WL001 fits most 15” and 16” wheel/tire combinations.

Does the TAB with boondock package come with 15" wheels or is it different?

Thanks.

    @bhaswar1988, I think you will want the 2178-A, which is what I have on my 2019 320 S.  Click on the two links you provided and scroll down.  They have photos of the couplers that will work with each lock.

    The 2019 400 Boondock has ST235/75R15 tires. I assume that hasn't changed. I have and use a Brahma wheel lock on that tire size. It is a tight fit and I had heard the company was disinclined to sell them for the Boondock models, I suspect due to returns because of close quarters? It is a bit of a puzzle, BUT assuming the new Boondock models haven't changed, getting the lock for the above tire size will work with a bit of maneuvering.

    Thanks @Bayliss . I was also inclined more towards 2178-A but since I don't have the trailer yet, I tried looking at some pictures of the tongue that I found online but could not be sure.

    @N7SHG_Ham , thanks for the information. I don't have a parking space for the trailer close to my home since I stay in a condo and I will park the trailer in an RV park which also offers RV storage but it will still be out there in the open. That is why I want to secure it as much as I can and after looking around, the Brahma wheel locks look to be one of the best out there. I hope it fits on my tires. Are there any better or similar alternatives to the Brahma wheel lock in case it does not? My original plan is to put the Brahma wheel lock on one of the wheels and a Trimax wheel lock on the other one.

    Yes yes the 2178-A is the one for the Atwood type trailer hitch used on the TaBs.
    We got one for our TaB400, works great, and it houses the chains, so they are not useable to tow the trailer away with.  Using the left out, unlocked chains to steal a trailer is not something I considered, until I saw a demo video doing just this.
