A lot of folks remove the hitch from the truck when in camp. Some of those weigh upwards of 100 pounds.
I also remove mine, but it weighs about 35 pounds.
You also can leave the hitch in the receiver and use a locking hitch pin.
As far as leveling side to side, I use a pair of homemade Andersen type levelers. I have a level on the front driver’s side of the camper that I can see in the mirror. Makes leveling about as simple as can be.
We can set up or break down in 30 minutes or so.
Thanks for the explanation. I just assumed that hitch always stayed with the truck and did not realize they were that heavy. I was thinking folks were talking about the hitch that is on the trailer. I trailer a 19 ft boat and lifting it to put it on the ball is very heavy
