I full time and find a need to remove the hitch all the time, to gain bed space for stuff I carry and so that I am not carrying around all that extra dead weight if I'm not towing. I carry enough stuff in my tool box but all of the stuff combined including the tool box probably weighs less than the total hitch. And finally, since I own a decent-sized truck, relatives, friends and neighbors often ask me to help them haul stuff. Without the hitch in the bed, I am happy to help.
I have a two piece Husky 16K hitch consisting of the head unit and a four-legged base. I also created a dolly with pneumatic wheels to easily move the hitch under my front cap while it's removed from the truck bed even if the ground is gravel or otherwise soft.
We fulltime in southern California and the campgrounds around here are filled with northerners trying to temporarily escape (maybe "flee" is a better way to put it) from the cold, wet or snowy climates of their northern homes. Maybe we'll see you one day.
