"Hitch Hermit" Hides Ball Hitch Under Rear Bumper

Hitch Hermit Hides Ball Hitch Under Rear Bumper PICKUPS Accessories The Hitch Hermit lets you store ball hitches under your rear pickup bumper where they re easily accessible whenever you need them says Vern Schroeder Carroll Iowa
    The Hitch Hermit attaches to the crossbar of the hitch assembly under the rear bumper on most pickups SUV s and RV s It s adaptable to most hitch assembly sizes
    The unit consists of a square metal tube with a pair of stud cables embedded into the top which wrap around the crossbar to secure the unit
    To install the Hitch Hermit you stick bolts through a pair of 1-in long sleeves and tighten up the nuts
     It puts your ball hitches under the pickup out of the way so you re not bumping into them all the time says Schroeder Also it makes it easy to switch ball sizes because the hitch you need is right there You don t have to carry different sizes in your cab or in back of the pickup where they can slide around bang into each other and get dirty I have two Hermit Hitches on back of my pickup so I can carry two different hitches with me all the time
     I designed 75 to 100 different prototypes before coming up with the current model The only tools needed for installation are two 1/2-in open-end wrenches The cables are long enough to fit around different obstructions
    Schroeder says some states have already passed laws that make it illegal to drive down the road with a ball assembly sticking out behind the pickup
    The Hitch Hermit sells for $37 plus S&H
