Ready Brute. What do you do with the tow bar when not towing

I still don't understand why the consensus is that the tow bar stays attached to the motorhome. It seems to me that it might be easiest (fewer connections to mess with) if one were to disconnect the safety chains, pull the receiver pin, slide the whole thing out of the receiver and just fold it up. I could understand the aesthetics given that you would have a big tow bar to view through the toad windshield when driving around, but that still seems easier than leaving it on the motorhome.
