Not sure if recommended or not but I have drilled a hole into the thread of the towball just below where nut tightens up and after full tightness have inserted a split pin. Reason why, I have been called to some road accidents where a tow ball nut has partially come loose and stopped with rust or dirt build up usually towing horse floats , car trailers etc with constant braking/acceleration deacceleration over time the metal is fatigue and snaps the tow ball off. Even with safety chains a nasty accident does occur. I have used this method towing caravans all over oz with the nut locked into place.
