Storing the Tow Bar

Covered.

Mine also stays attached all the time. I have a Blue Ox locking pin which should keep it relatively safe. No need to bungee etc. as no amount of a bump or jar is going to move it out of its storage position. I do have a cover which I use if I'm not going to be towing for the next week or so. If I'm just somewhere for a night or two or three, I don't use it. The only exception is if I'm at a beach or desert type location with sand blowing around, I'll cover it even for a short stay. Doubt there are really any right or wrong answers.

Just the answers I wanted! Now, those that leave them on, do you put a cover on it or just leave it exposed and keep it someone clean?

I've got a TowMaster. It's never been off of the MH, probably never will be.

Mine folds up and stays attached to the motorhome.

My Blue Ox Aventa tow bar folds up and stays on the coach when not in use. When I first started dingy towing I had a locking pin on it. It was made in China, I didn't trust it and used the pin that came with the tow bar ever since. I have driven the coach many times with the tow bar in the stowed position and never had any problems. I had the same tow bar for four years on a gas coach before my current coach.

Excellent question as I too have just gotten into towing. My thoughts are to leave it on there. For me, too heavy and cumbersome to deal with more than I have too. Looking for a lock to use on the pin that slides into the receiver hitch. Hate to have someone walk away with it.

One can always bungee the bar to the receiver hitch if you think it will come out of the stored position.

Mine came with a cover and I put it on upside down. Birds made a nest in it!
