These two items might seem very trivial, but they helped us out.

This takes two seconds to hook up the Brake Away cable now, and only cost $2 at the hardware store

I dont know how many times I gouged my shins and knee when trying to step over this large square piece of metal on the Hitch. I'm short, so it's a big step for me:B
I usually keep the ball greased up and when ever the truck was unhooked from the camper, I cant count the pairs of pants that I ruined from brushing up against the greasy ball.

So I was able to kill two birds with one stone by putting a Beer Cozy over the piece of metal that was gouging my shins, then when the two are unhooked, I place the Beer Cozy over the hitch ball to keep the grease where it should be and not on my pant legs. :B
Cost? One Beer Cozy and who doesnt have dozens of those lying around?
Hope that helps !
