WD bar storage ideas or mods?

If you don't have a box just fasten to the A frame on the camper



I pull my hitch stinger from the truck receiver and stick it in the camper hitch
One padlock through the WDH chains and the camper hitch and it all is together and safe from crack heads wanting scrap metal to sell and mischievous kids

Better then
drilling holes in your frame for simply storing towing accessories.

In my front pass through storage I placed some hooks that I simply slide my wd bars onto and leave them there until I need to hitch up again, this way they can be secured as well as kept out of the weather and off the ground.

Glad you like it. Here is one more photo with the lock in place. The chain lengths were just barely long enough to get a lock in.

I just stick the WD trunnion bars in the trailer's front pass through storage compartment, no need for any specialized storage arrangement. Years ago the first WD system I owned was a round bar system and they admittedly were a PITA to deal with as the ends had to be well greased so I stuck them, along with the sway bar, in an old rifle case and stored it in the front pass through storage compartment.

I do the same thing. Works great. When it is time to hit the road I clean the bar ends and re-grease. I haven't been using locks but that is a great idea and I will do it.

OP here....Thanks for replies.

I've never had any theft when RVing. But I did have a problem at my house lately (2nd time since 1974). My reasoning for being able to lock them up is simply ... why not?

When I get to a campsite, after unhooking I put on some pvc covers (Made out of PVC pipe), they snap on and keep most of the dirt off. Covers also keep most of the grease from jumping on my clothes. Then lean bars up against hitch area. Was thinking there was a better way.

Thanks
