When I'm at camp I pull out the hitch head and put the ball up into the trailer coupler and lock it on. I also put the lock pin through the draw bar and lock that end of it also so nobody could try to hook up to the trailer by sliding the hitch head into their hitch. It also lock my 2-2.5" hitch adapter to the hitch head as well. It is so heavy I don't want it in my Suburban and I wouldn't want to pick it up into storage compartment either. I just put my bars under the trailer or in the side trailer compartment if I' worried about theft or weather getting them wet/muddy.
I also wouldn't want a heavy object free inside my vehicle since in an accident it could cause some serious damage to someone. Even in the bed it could come through the back window.
I imagine my next tow vehicle will be a pickup, I'll miss my Suburban but they don't make 2500 models anymore so I likely won't end up with one. My plan is to keep this one going a long time.
