Sometimes You Need a Hitch in Your Summer Plans

Lake living is something we crave year ‘round. It’s such a joy when summer rolls around and we get to dust off our boat shoes and hit the water!

But even the best laid plans sometimes don’t go off without a hitch. Take for example, our latest boating trip. We started off the morning as always – making PBJs, filling up coolers, gathering life jackets and beach towels. We had visions of sunny blue skies, innertubes bouncing along the lake and splashing around in the cool rippling waves.

After pulling out the boat, we pilled our provisions in and headed on down the road…. Or, err, not.

Our plans snagged a bit as last minute we decided we’d need to take our more fuel-efficient vehicle, so we could go to a favorite lake farther away. So with the slip of a few pins, we unloaded the truck, popped our new B&W Tow and Stow Trailer Hitch off our heavy-duty truck and onto our cross-over SUV, and got back on track.

This is typically what our summer adventures involve. We love to plan the day but also allow room for lots of spontaneity.

As outdoor enthusiasts, our lifestyle constantly involves towing. From boats to tractors to trailers filled with ATVs, we haul it all. When you are dealing with moving multiple objects, you need a high quality, flexible, innovative solution for all your towing needs, like the B&W Tow and Stow Trailer Hitch.

My husband and I are thrilled to discover this hitch and think it’s most clever, well-designed ball mount hitch we’ve ever seen. American made with adjustable height and multiple ball sizes, it’s ready for all our towing needs and then-some.

B&W really thought of everything active families like us need when they designed the Tow and Stow Hitch. It even stows under your vehicle when you are done towing so that it’s not sticking out to knock your shin on or accidentally damage anything when backing up (it happens!)

The steel construction that fits any standard 2”, 2.5” or 3” receiver is also designed to be anti-theft. Even if you remove the pins from the hitch, the ball portion is not removeable while the hitch is installed on the vehicle. Add a stainless-steel B&W Hitch Lock to your setup and it’s even more secure.

Why is it important for us to have a quality hitch for our summer vacation plans? This is why:

We are towing precious cargo to and from the lake. We need reliable, well-built products to make sure that even when there is a hitch in our summer plans, our adventure still goes smoothly!

Among the lake folk, there is a saying that ‘every man should have to pull a boat over a mountain sometime.’ If so, they should be sure to have a B&W Trailer Hitch to help out!
