ABSTRACT:
A trailer hitch cover assembly covers the entire V- shaped trailer hitch assembly to protect the trailer hitch from the elements and prevent injury to horses and children. A cap snaps or locks onto the hinged sides of the cover, and the sides snap or lock onto a base. A top rear panel folds down from the cap to just above the top of the trailer hitch, and a bottom rear panel folds up from the base. A wheel block in the base supports the wheel of the trailer hitch, and holds the cover assembly firmly over the hitch assembly. The cap, base and sides of the cover are preferably formed of a light-weight plastic, such as low density polyethylene. Locking connectors may be used to connect the cap and base to the sides.
