Stop yanking your ball mount in and out every time you unhook. The B&W Tow & Stow lets you fold the ball arm up and out of the way while the shank stays in your receiver -- clean, fast, and no more skinned knuckles or lost hitch pins. Built for RV owners who tow a toad, a boat, or a utility trailer and need a rugged, no-fuss solution that stays on the vehicle.
The B&W Tow & Stow series is one of the most recognized adjustable hitch families in the North American towing market. The TS10043B is the 2-5/16" ball over 2" receiver configuration -- the combination most commonly needed by fifth-wheel and heavy-duty truck owners who also tow a second trailer or vehicle behind a motorhome.
The core idea is straightforward: the ball arm pivots on a heavy-duty steel pin so it folds up vertically when you are not towing. No tools required. The shank stays locked in your 2" receiver and the arm snaps back down and locks for towing. The 2-5/16" ball is a fixed, permanent part of the arm -- not a removable ball -- so there is nothing to lose and nothing to torque down on the road.
Ball arm pivots up and locks vertical when not in use, keeping it clear of your bumper, backup camera, and legs. No tools, no removal, no storage hassle.
Permanently welded 2-5/16" hitch ball handles fifth-wheel goose-neck converters, heavy boat trailers, RV tow dollies, and most Class IV and V trailer couplers.
Machined 2" square shank fits any standard 2" receiver hitch. Compatible with Class III, IV, and V receivers found on pickup trucks, SUVs, and motorhome rear hitches.
The Tow & Stow series offers multiple rise and drop positions so you can level your trailer tongue without buying a separate shank. Match your specific tow vehicle and trailer combination.
This is the right part if:
B&W manufactures the Tow & Stow line in Humboldt, Kansas. The shank and ball arm are machined and welded from high-strength steel then finished in a durable black powder coat. The pivot hardware is zinc-plated and the locking pin uses a safety clip to prevent road vibration from walking it out. At 41.0 lbs, this is a substantial, all-steel unit -- not a lightweight stamped-shank hitch.
Installation is the same as any standard ball mount:
No drilling, cutting, or wiring is required. The unit arrives fully assembled with the ball already installed in the arm.
