Default Hidden Hitch

Our marriage counselor suggested we look for pull through outside storage rather than back the TM into the garage. When we got home I headed out to the shop and welded up this receiver for the front of the Jeep. It is hidden behind the tag when not in use. When needed I just remove the two wing nuts from the tag and slide the hitch into the receiver. Now it is like driving a forklift, I can easily place the TM anywhere I want, liked it so much I built another one for the pickup. Now when we go camping we are going to look for the shadiest, hardest to back into spot we can find. With the money we will save on another counselor visit I think we will buy an icemaker for the TM.

I love the idea of hiding the hitch with a decorative license plate. Very creative!
