Ball mount storage bag??

I have a BW Tow and Stow 7inch drop ball mount and need something to put it in when not towing to store it under the back seat. Having trouble finding anything big enough and tough.

What are you all using?

I just leave my B&W on and keep it flipped around when I am not using it. My neighbor pulls his off and keeps it in the garage until he needs it. It should not move around much if you have other stuff stored under the seat in addition to the hitch.

I've thought about just leaving on in stow position but here in MN winter and salt I'm afraid of it rusting up. My concern with storing in the truck is keeping everything clean/free of grease.

Short of wrapping it up in a heavy plastic bag, Most cases that you might find may be a bit large to fit under the seat. You can take some measurements and get a Pelican case with no foam (or another Pelican knock-off) and give that a try. Another option may be a pistol/handgun case if you can find one in the size you need.

I just double wrap the gn ball in ziplock gallon freezer bags. I keep a couple nitrile gloves in the second bag to use when putting the ball back in the truck to keep my hands clean.

I leave mine right where it should be, so when the dumba$$ behind me in the carwash “accidently” stepped on the gas, she got a caved in front end and i got a smudge...👍

Do you have the same ball mount as me, the BW Tow/Stow? This is what I had in mind but want to make sure it will fit before I order something. Thanks!

Thanks! I am pretty sure it will work for my BW as well now that I see that.
