Where to store the tow hitch and stabilizer bars

Hi All
My wife and I are working up our new travel trailer this coming Saturday. is there some type of an aftermarket box that I can store the hitch and stabilizer bars in? I want to keep the hitch parts stored nicely:)

Thanks,
Dave

  • Mine go in the storage area under in the front of the TT. Handy and easy to get to. They are after all heavy, greasy and dirty chunks of steel. The less I have to handle them the better.
  • I put a pickup truck, side mount tool box on my trailer tongue just behind the gas tanks. It clears the brackets for my weight distribution bars, is lockable,water tight, nice clean diamond plate aluminum, and my battery is relocated inside for security.
  • Buy a duffel bag or something similar. Another option would be to make you own box using plywood.
  • I don't remove the hitch when camping but understand some states require it. I store the bars in the TT's passthrough storage in the card board box as shipped...reenforced with lots of tape. Haven't lost a pin yet...since I carry two extras. At home :( hitch stays in garage.
  • Thanks for the reply. I mean if there an aftermarket storage box on the market? I can't seem to find one. I want to put it in the rv under storage area.

    Thanks,

  • I'd suggest storing them somewhere climate controlled to minimize rust.
