I spoke with B&W about the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch like part # BWRVK3600 and they recommend using the Master Lock 1-9/16" Wide Solid Brass Body Padlock with 2" Shackle part # ML140DLH to lock the handles on the base and it can also be used to lock the jaw release handle. That said, you need to remove these locks and replace them with the original pins before towing.
