    5th wheel hitch - plugging ball hole?

    I've got a BW Companion hitch in the bed of my truck. I need to get some mulch so I took it out. How do you guys plug up the hole when you want to use the bed of your truck to haul something loose? I was thinking of just taping some cardboard over it? There has to be a smarter way though!
