Coupler lock?

  We use this Master Lock set. Keyed the same for the coupler lock, receiver lock and latch lock. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VSY4HG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3
  We supplement it with a wheel lock (like a giant claw) and a set of lug nut wheel locks. 5 yrs, 65k miles no problems. But we normally stay at state parks and COE campgrounds.

  I have one of these (discontinued): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXY85E4. If you want something (significantly) sturdier, have a look at Proven Industries. https://www.provenlocks.com/collections/2-trailer-coupler-locks. You will need to confirm which coupler style you have.

  I will 2nd Junflerich recommendation of the Proven Industries. https://www.provenlocks.com/collections/2-trailer-coupler-locks.  I am using model 2178-A.  Its a Beast! But when we leave the camp site,  we feel we will be seeing our T@B when we get back.  

  
  

  Option if your so inclined: If you buy your receiver hitch lock/ball mount lock and your Coupler Puck Lock at the same time they can be ordered keyed alike.  Always nice to have fewer keys on the key ring.

  This is a harder decision than it should be. If someone wants your trailer  bad enough, they're going to get it no matter the coupler lock in place.
  
  rcarlson1957 I like the low spend for your lock.
  
  junglerichUSSBird I like the rock solid security of yours.
  
  I think that pretty much any coupler lock will deter an opportunistic thief in a relatively low crime area, and that there is no coupler lock that will stop a committed thief: They'll just throw some straps around the a-frame of the coupler and drag the unit to a place where they can work on the high security coupler lock more privately. 
  
  If this were a money's no object decision, I'd go with the Proven Industries lock, but I think - in my case- I'm better off with the lower-cost Master Lock and putting the saved money into a length of grade 70 chain and a high quality padlock chaining the T@B to a nearby tree or an anchor bolted into the driveway concrete. This will add one more layer of defense for thieves to overcome, which means more time to steal. 
  
  Thank you all for your feedback!

  @rcarlson1957 before I posted this question I had ordered a Master Lock like yours but it didn't fit. They must make more than one size. I decided to go with this lock instead, largely because I know it will fit, it seems like a good design and it's priced right at about $55 and it has a 4.5 rating with more than 4100 ratings.
