They can be left open unless little hands may be near when you take it out. As an owner of a 3300 Superglide for 7 years I only closed mine a few times. Do not do it by hand because it will bite.(Don't ask how I know) That feature I really liked because when you hit the pin on the trailer there is no doubt it is latched along with a quick look at the handle. Cummins12V98 will shoot me but that was one feature I like better over the B&W I now have. I have to get up in the truck to close the handle and pin it. I will say though the B&W is a stronger built hitch with thicker jaws. Having used both these American built products you can't go wrong.
PulRite would be my choice with a auto slide.
I just like the simple no questions design of the B&W. If people like what they have that is great. I just want people in the market to look at them side by side and not go for what their RV salesman wants to sell them for example.
You need one of these! Makes closing and opening the hitch a breeze and also getting into the tool box.
