Your Mopar 30K 5th Wheel Hitch is manufactured by Curt and modeled after the Curt Q Series 5th Wheel Hitch Line. They have the same lockable handle, specifically designed so that you can add a padlock to help prevent theft and give you that peace of mind you're looking for. The Master Lock Padlock # ML4140LH is the one I recommend for your Mopar Hitch.

For a cover, we have the Classic Accessories Cover for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # CA80116 that is going to fit really well and protect your hitch from the elements when not in use. I attached a photo to show you how it's going to fit on your Mopar 30K 5th wheel hitch.
