ABSTRACT:
A hitch cover for preventing injury to individuals moving within the area located beneath the overhang portion of a fifth-wheel type camper trailer, the hitch cover including a cover member of an oversized solid one-piece foam rubber construction having a blind hole in the top surface for receiving therein the depending hitch pin for mounting the cover member on the hitch pin with the cover member underlying the bottom of the hitch pin support, the outer diameter of the cover member being sufficiently large as to permit the cover member to extend radially outward with its peripheral edge located beyond the front and sides of the hitch pin support, thus preventing direct contact with the hitch pin and/or the hitch pin support by an individual, such as a child, when moving within the area beneath the overhang pin and/or the hitch pin support.
