That would be worth checking. My hitch is covered except when connected to the RV.

Since I will be winterizing the Montana on the site here in Georgia, I thought I would remove the hitch from the bed so I'd have more room to haul a few things. I have a Reese 16k slider and it has been in the truck for over four years. I never thought to lube the four pull pins where the hitch attaches to the rails as they don't move. Well, can you say 2 lb. hammer, liquid wrench, and pry bar.

They were corroded in place and a lot of fun to get out. We think to lube the moving parts but not the stationary ones. So a heads up to those of you thinking about removing your hitch from time to time. You might want to add lubing those pins to your maintenance list.
