We have that brand of hitch. We travel for about 5 months in the winter. The hitch head stays padlocked in the truck receiver unless I'm gong through an automatic car wash. The bars usually stay at the tongue of the trailer.
An electric jack is a big help for hitching. We hook onto the trailer and then use the jack to raise the tongue and back of the truck high enough that the bars just swing over onto the L brackets. We never use the little pry bar.
i hope this helps.
