Tongue Jack Trailer Towing Organizer

This is the coolest thing since sliced bread. When we had our Casita, I would hang the chains over the framework and ultimately, they chipped the paint and caused rust spots.

For Christmas, our great friends, Dave (H46DRIVER) and his wife, Linda gave us this gift and I just had to share.

Great idea for keeping that stuff organized of the ground.

This might be a great do-it-yourself project.

I like it, but I'd also want something to hang the triangle plate for my Andersen Hitch. Currently, I cross the safety chains over the tongue and it keeps the triangle plate suspended below.

For my Andersen I use a short shock cord that I wrap around the tongue and then use the hooks to hang the plate. Keeps it off the ground, very easy to use, limited bending and when I am done I wrap it around the brace inside the front storage box.

I like it. Simple and easy. I have a few of these and that'll work. Thanks for the tip.

That looks like it will work fine. I have the lighter fabric model and if necessary I can tie off the knot to make the cord shorter. I must have a variety of lengths because with some I make a loop around the tongue to take up slack.
