An Equal-I-zer hitch head weighs 60-65 lbs. I have an outside storage bin that is under the couch that holds the bars and the hitch head and other stuff. If I'm only camping for a day or two I leave the hitch on the truck with a locking pin and put the bars in the storage. More time than that, I take the hitch off and put it in the storage compartment. It sticks out too far in parking lots etc. and, I, generally, manage to bang my shins at least once per trip. I have an old pair of gloves that are only used for the hitch.
