Expert Reply:
The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # C23519 that you referenced is designed for exactly what you are looking for so it would work well. It is a hitch pin with a lock on the end that would work well with your travel trailer.
Since hitch pins don't bear any of the weight of the trailer, they aren't rated in terms of weight capacity. The trailer's tongue weight puts so much pressure on the hitch that the ball mount gets bound up in the hitch. Meaning the hitch pin does not ever take any of the weight.
