ABSTRACT:
A receiver cover includes a stationary member that is configured to be secured to an end of a receiver for a trailer hitch. The receiver cover also includes a door which is hingedly connected to the stationary member. The door may be biased toward the stationary member, such as by one or more of a living hinge, a coiled spring, a magnetic field, or the like. Thus, when the receiver is not in use, the door automatically closes and is secured in a closed position over a receptacle in a receiver with which the receiver cover is used. When access to the receptacle of the receiver is desired, such as for coupling a trailer hitch therewith, the door may be opened against the bias so as to expose the receptacle.
