Hitch receiver play...what's the pro cure?
Howdy gents, I know there are contraptions on the market to take the play/slop out of the drawbar/receiver interface, but what's the home remedy?

IMHO...
Properly tensioned WD Hitch should NOT rattle except for a rare occasion where
the setup has unweighted...but is RARE or should be
The receiver OEM design might have too much tolerance and a change in receiver
might help, but the main issue is the above
Now if the OP is talking about running unhooked and just the drawbar in the
receiver...that is another issue. I do NOT leave my draw bars in the receiver, but
take them out whenever not towing
If no WD Hitch and just dead weight towning, then yet another issue....but then
the weight on the reciver and that *WILL* rattle.
The various pre-tensioning systems will help in that case
