What to do with my hitch
Hope this is the right place for this. What does everyone else do with their hitch in the winter? Is it ok to leave it mounted in the bed? we do have a soft cover on the truck to keep the snow off but...

Sure, you can leave it in the truck bed. Exposed to the weather, not being used, in the way of other loads.
I hang mine from the 5th wheel king pin. Put it back in the truck in the spring.
You have to be careful doing this with certain hitches. On the PullRite hitches, the latch arm under the fifth wheel plate can be damaged if too much upward force is applied by the king pin. On many other hitches it's no problem.

"Damage if there is an upward force by the king pin". Explain how that hitch can work when you hit a chuck hole or go over a rough railroad crossing!
