Some have covers for the bed of the truck. When I used a 5th wheel hitch I didn't cover it.

But I would take it out often and put in under cover when out. I used a flat metal pan like you would use for a car that drips oil. turned it upside down and set it on the hitch.

I bought an inexpensive tonneau cover for under $200 which covers my Curt hitch and keeps my bed clean.

Tonneau covers are great for the fact that you can keep your hitch covered and everything else from prying eyes.

I didn't want to go the Tonneau cover rout with this truck (it has a cargo box in it, etc.). When we saw we were going to be staying long-term in northern Maryland this past year - including the winter - I bought a cover for our Pull-Rite. The only place that had it in stock was Pull-Rite, so it was pricey. It's well-made, though, and did a good job of protecting the hitch.

I went the cheap way out, Trash bag with a bungee to tie it down. I just recently bought a Tonneau cover.

Trash bag would last two runs through the car wash.... no desire for a tonneau cover
