Hitch Port
Has anyone tried the Hitch Port? It seems like a great solution for where to store your weight distribution hitch when not in use. Maybe just while on the road, but possibly while in storage too?

I use and recommend their Hitch Grip Tool.

There's two other newfangled products out there that work great. For the hitch I use one called "The Ground", and the same company makes one to lean the springs bars against when you aren't using them called a "Tree".

Ray... did you weld that yourself? Any complications?
I'm new to welding but I think I could accomplish this even at my novice level.

I just bolted on this receiver to the front of the trailer near the propane tank. No need to weld anything on. Works great and allows you to lock it in if you like.

The dealer did it at no charge.
