Abstract
A hitch coupler receiving apparatus includes a base having opposite first and second surfaces, and a pair of spaced-apart first and second openings extending through the base from the first surface to the second surface. A pair of opposing, elongated first and second walls extend outwardly from the base first surface in adjacent, spaced-apart relationship. Each wall includes a plurality of spaced apertures formed therethrough. A hitch coupler is secured to the apparatus via a fastener that engages aligned apertures in the respective first and second walls. Each wall overlies a respective one of the first and second openings and includes an access opening. Each access opening is substantially larger than a respective opening in the base and facilitates insertion of a fastener into a respective opening in the base and rotation of the fastener via a tool.
