1. Remove one of the through bolts holding the coupler to the tongue of the trailer, and re-insert it through an eye splice in a piece of 3/8" aircraft cable a couple hundred feet long. The other end of the cable is attached to a ground anchor that can stop a Peterbilt in its tracks.
2. Get a piece of heavy-gauge bungee cord about 20 feet long. Attach one end to the coupler bolt, and the other end through one of the holes in a brick. Get a short (couple feet ought to do it) piece of 1/8" cotton cord (sash cord or clothes line), tie it through another hole in the brick, and attach it to a ground anchor. Be sure the working load limit on the bungee is several times the breaking strength of the cotton cord.
