I tried to post a pic of how I store the torsion arms of the Equalizer hitch but was unsuccessful.
I built a simple box of 1x4 for the sides and 1/4 inch plywood bottom, or what ever one has on hand, for the bottom. it is about 6-8 inches longer than the arms and about 8 inches wide.
I did put a layer of scrap carpet in it.
It holds: the two torsion arms
the pry wrench that came with the hitch
The clip pins and L pins for the hitch (these have peices of string
on them for when one drops them on the ground.
Pair of leather gloves.
Rubber mallet, occasionally one must get the hitch's attention on a slope or such
The box keeps all togehter no rattle and no grease spread around. I leave it in the bed even when not towing unless some cargo requires that it be removed.
Oh, we do have a hard cover for the truck bed.
As for the hitch it self, when traveling and in a CG it stays on the truck, only at home do I remove it and leave on the garage floor on a peice of wood.
While you are at it, I painted the ends of the pins and L pins red with nail polish, again, makes them easier to find in the grass!
