I need a hitch cover, please help.

The low lives will not be able to figure out how to cook on your hitch when they remove the Weber Q cover in some back woods fish camp! Chris

Easy to remove "high dollar" covers (in the open) have been known to grow legs..:S

With bed cover:
If you have a bed cover - and your hitch requires WD-40 on the mechanism - a trash bag and bungee helps keep the dust out.

The cheap out:
Hmmmm - it's a....."Handy-out"!!...:W
If you haven't used your hitch in a while, time for a new cover!
Pull off the old trash bag and toss...:C

No bed cover:
The Weber Q - or "generic" BBQ cover - about $10 from HD or Loews & avail in various sizes. Bungee as needed.
If you're in a high dust area - "bag it" underneath the BBQ cover.

You guessed right.

Yep. Mine's been in the garage all summer. :-(

Maybe??

That will work. Inexpensive a good idea! You will not have to take out a loan like you mentioned!

My brother brought a Weber Q and since he stores his under cover, he gave me the cover.
Works great on my B&W hitch during the season.
I pull the hitch for the winters here in Utah.

A quote from 10 Minute Tech in Trailer Life, May 2013, which I just happened to look at in preparation for recycling and was open on my coffee table:

"I have come up with an easy way to cover the fifth wheel hitch when not in use while in the bed of my truck to protect it from the weather. While buying parts for my barbeque at Home Depot a few months ago it occurred to me that the cover for a Weber Q barbeque would do just fine. I purchased it for about $8 and adapted it to cover my hitch saddle. It works great.
I simply cut a small hole on the side of the cover to skip it over the jaw-release arm and fit it over the hitch head. It has drawstrings on the bottom that I cinch up so it fits snuggly and won't come off. The size of the cover would probably accommodate most hitches.
It is a simple solution that does not cost much."

I'm trying to understand why you even need one. I've never heard of anyone using a hitch cover.

Probably a lot of things you have never heard of. My hitch stays in the truck and a cover on it keeps it from getting filthy and rusty and the air bags on the hitch stay out of the sun. Pretty useful to me.

That is one nice looking hauler bed setup...
