I leave the hitch on the Burb, and lay the bars across the tongue behind the propane tanks.

I have a locking hitch pin, so I just leave it in the receiver. It only took me "several" times to figger out to walk wide around the back of the truck!


Yup......made me think about wearing shin pads.......
So we just leave it in the back of our TV that has a lockable tailgate and topper

"Why remove it?"
A friend of mine told me I should start removing mine when I'm using the pickup for errands because they seem to disappear. At the horse shows, there isn't much of a problem of theft. Who wants to mess with a cowboy? Or cowgirl for that matter!

I learned back in the early 90s to go wide around my dad's pickup hitch. It only took a few times of "better not do that again!" to learn it hurts!

mine is locked when on the truck... I have read post where someone had the pin pulled on them while they were shopping and when they pulled out the trailer fell to the ground and did a lot of damage... I suppose who ever did it thought it would be funny...

I leave it under the trailer in a CG if I don't want it on the truck...
