Any RV supplier will have them, one is as good as the other. I actually use the cheap one. Have a great day.

Unless you driving a tractor trailer, yes, they are one size  They keep the honest crook honest. I have never heard of a 5th wheel getting stolen, but I didn't want to be the first.
You should take the time to fill in your signature line, that way when people answer you, they will know what kind of trailer and/or truck you drive and/or pull, and can more directly give you correct answers.

I think I even saw them at Walmart the other day in the RV section.

Husky makes a lock that is simply a u-shaped band of 1/2" thick steel that slides onto the shank of the pin, then a hardened pin (like the one on a receiver hitch) slides through holes in the steel band and is locked. Gave $15 for ours. Asked a tech at our local, private RV repair if he thought the lock was any good. He said a customer had lost his keys and the only way to get it off was a torch. FWIW

I just did a EBay search for "ROADPRO RPKPSL3" and it's listed 3 times and on a Google search, it's listed about 4 pages deep.

And another on Amazon.com just put copy and paste the name into the search feature on these sites and they pop up. I believe the standard was 14.00 and the HD was 22.00

I use the War-Lok on my king pin. Professional trucker quality and you aren't going to get it off without a torch.
War-Lok at the best price I've found
Not cheap, but, it isn't going to be defeated by bolt cutters...

Only thing left in the War-Loc is to replace the king pin  - Don't lose the key

We carry 4 with us (keys) when traveling and have two more at home in the safe...if you loose the keys, you're right, you're sunk

That War-Loc does look very intimidating. I can see it being used in the OTR industry, but IMO it's a bit overkill for an RV. To each their own, glad mine is stored behind my fence with double locks on the gate.

I totally agree. Thankfully, where we live there's been no reason to resort to such drastic measures. Our fifth wheel is sitting beside the garage (during the summer) or in the pole barn (during the winter). RV locks are something we use when we're away from home, but haven't had a reason to use them at home.
Heck, if this winter is anything like last winter, the snow/ice will effectively "lock" the pole barn and nobody will be getting the trailer out without destroying the door <sigh>
