    Hitch Lift

    I purchased a B&W Companion hitch. I was wondering what tool to use to remove from the truck when not camping, I need the truck bed.
    The hitch weights about 200 pounds. I don't want to get hurt lifting this thing.

    When I used a regular hitch I used an engine hoist to remove it. I'm getting way to long in the tooth to lift 200# and it takes me three days to get my back to working again.

    @Papahoosh -

    I mounted an electric ceiling hoist in my garage. It works REALLY well and only cost $99...
