Most people believe the Proven Industries coupler lock is the best. It is also the most expensive.

A couple of comparisons:

After checking it out, I'm about to order the provenlock mod 2178 for $215.Unless somebody can convince me otherwise. It looks like it will give me peace of mind.

A lot to be said for piece of mind, especially on a relaxing camping trip!  We figure better to have it then not!

It's $15 shipping, so you save $5.  I'm thinking of getting one. If you watch the Proven Industries video, you can see how easily they pry off those other coupler locks.

Thanks for the link GlueGuy
