I installed heavy-duty J-shaped storage utility double hooks on each side of my Keystone Cougar travel trailer’s A-frame to hold the weight-distributing spring bars when at a campsite to keep them off the ground. I bought the hooks from Amazon and installed them with ¼-inch self-tapping screws. It works great.

How do you secure them? You don’t think that people would be willing to walk off with them while you were gone? I have been camping for over 40 years, and before now I would always trust people in an RV campground. Not anymore. People just don’t care anymore for what’s right. I would not trust something as important as parts to my trailer hitch to being left out in the open. I lock mine up in the compartments when not in use.
