It is a detachable ball, you can unscrew the ball and take it off if not in use. My towbar has a pin in from left to right so to speak, The pin in question is tighten to stop the detachable part from rattling while driving.

I very seldom drive with mine on because of the above and shop lifting. it is quick and easy to steal even if locked.
Wishing my life away till the next trip!
