Hitch Receiver Covers

It doesn't keep moisture out and prevent rusting? If that is so, then I see no reason to spend the money.

No. If anything, it probably keep moisture in.

I would put a cover on the electrical plug, though. I don't have any experience with trailer electrics specifically, but I've spent way more than my share of time replacing connectors in a certain moto that will remain nameless. (Soldering is where I first realized I needed reading glasses...) Protecting exposed contacts is a good thing.

I don't think I have an electric plug? I just have a 1.25 inch hitch for my Thule hitch rack. I guess I will need to look and see if I do happen to have one...

Unless you got your hitch specifically to tow a trailer, you probably don't have plugs/wires. A bike rack hitch doesn't require it. But if it does - YES, cover those.

Mine doesn't have wires. And no, I don't use a cover.

Got Farm & Fleet over there? About $3 for a plastic one; but they're just cosmetic (covers the rusty scratched up hole).
