Bring the hitch. Keep your shins.

The SV Hidden Hitch Holder bolts to the side of your factory Sprinter tow hitch and stores your ball mount on the van, tucked out of the way. No more leaving it at home, buying another one at the rental counter, or cracking your shins on it in the driveway.

Fits: 2019+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (VS30) factory tow hitch, using the existing side frame holes.
Other hitches: Can be adapted by drilling two mounting holes.

  • Bolts into the existing side holes on the 2019+ factory hitch with 2 supplied bolts
  • Heavy-duty steel bracket
  • Locks your hitch in with your hitch pin and clip
  • Long-drop hitch? Turn it 90 degrees and store it sideways for more clearance
  • Swap from stored to towing in a couple of seconds

Product Details

Your hitch goes where your van goes

If you tow trailers around the shop, take the boat out for the weekend, or pick up a rental trailer once in a while, you want your ball mount with you. Leave it in the receiver and you'll find it with your shins. Leave it at home and you're buying another one.

The Hidden Hitch Holder gives your hitch a home on the van. It bolts into the side of the factory tow hitch, out of the way of your legs, and keeps your ball mount ready whenever you need it.

Works with short and long drops

Slide a normal-drop hitch straight in, line up the front and back holes, and pin it. If your hitch has a much longer drop, turn it 90 degrees, slide it in, and pin it through a hole on the bottom side. It stores sideways and gives you more ground clearance.

Made by Sandy Vans

We built it because we tow all the time and got tired of buying ball mounts. It's heavy-duty steel and uses two bolts, so it goes on once and stays put.

On a 2019+ Sprinter factory hitch, the holder bolts into the existing side frame mount holes with the 2 bolts, 4 washers and 2 nuts in the box. No drilling. Plan on about an hour, or have us install it free at SV HQ in San Diego.

Other hitches can be adapted by drilling two mounting holes for the bracket. Reach out before you drill and we'll help you plan it.

There's no printed manual. The video below shows the holder on the van and how to store your hitch, both straight and sideways.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Not sliding the hitch all the way through. Line up both the front and back holes before you put the pin in.
  • Forgetting the clip. Pin it and clip it every time, just like you would in the receiver.
  • Storing a long-drop hitch straight. Turn it 90 degrees and use a bottom hole for more clearance.

Tools You'll Need

  • Wrench or socket set for the supplied bolts
  • Your hitch pin and clip

How to choose a hitch storage setup

Here's what customers ask, in order.

1. What van and hitch do you have?

The holder is made for the factory tow hitch on 2019+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinters (VS30). It bolts into the hitch's existing side frame holes.

How to choose: 2019+ Sprinter with the factory hitch: it bolts right on. Other hitch: plan to drill two holes.

2. How long is your ball mount's drop?

Normal drops store straight. Longer drops can store sideways for more clearance.

How to choose: If your hitch hangs low when stored straight, turn it 90 degrees and pin it sideways.

3. Do you want it installed?

It's a two-bolt install you can do in your driveway. We'll also install it free at SV HQ in San Diego.

How to choose: Have a wrench or socket set? Do it yourself. Coming by the shop? Let us handle it.

Before you order

  • Confirm you have a 2019+ Sprinter factory hitch, or plan to drill for other hitches
  • Check that your ball mount has a pin hole that lines up with the holder
  • Have your hitch pin and clip handy

Will my ball mount fit?
It holds standard ball mounts that slide in and pin through. If you're not sure about yours, send a photo to products@sandyvans.com and we'll confirm.
