You guys like to do a lot of work taking the hitch on and off the truck.
I think you can put the hitch on the floor of your trailer just put down a board or rug so you do not get your floor dirty and do not drop it.
I would think putting it into a storage compartment would be too hard.
When camping mine stays on the truck. If I am at home and planning on taking a trip soon/ not planning on using one of my other bumper pulled trailers it stays on the truck. Should I need to pull anther trailer once I have left my house I usually put it in the bed of the truck. Bars are in the storage compartment on the trailer or in use .
If I know I won't be camping for a while when I unhook the trailer I leave the hitch attached to the trailer with the trailer lock on. I also have a lock for the truck hitch pin.
I carry a 1 7/8, 2 and 2 5/6 inch hitches with me in the truck as well as a 5th wheel hitch in the bed. I recently traded out my 2 inch with one that can be used with a pintal hook or the 2 inch ball. I used to carry just the balls and a wrench but it would take so much time to switch that I just got more receivers to put the balls on and leave them.
I am on the road almost every day usually pulling some type of trailer usually a 30 foot gooseneck flat bed) not always one that I own. If I only pulled my own bumper hitch trailers I would buy all the same size or switch them all to the same size.
