Hitch and Bars Storage While Camping?

I put an aluminum tool box across the tongue to hold my boards and chocks. When those items come out, the hitch bars go in. The ball mount comes out of the truck and the ball is inserted into the coupler and locked. I made a carrying tool to handle the heavy ball mount with one hand. This way the shank can be rotated out of the way, the ball stays cleaner and I ain't knocking my legs into a greasy ball. Being locked in the coupler adds a degree of security to both the part and the trailer, and is safe from a kid opening the latch and the heavy part falling. The other hitch parts, along with other things, are safely stored away inside a dry and locked toolbox.
