How to hide a tongue and trailer hitch decoratively?

I live in a 1960 single wide trailer w/the front tongue & hitch still attached. I laid a square piece of wood over the top, on top of that I laid an astro-turf carpet and placed large rocks at the hem to hide the bottom edge and the whole thing sits on a pea gravel base towards each side and in the middle. It's worked for me for the past 15 yrs. but I'm ready for a very easy change now as I'm 72 and have back problems.

can you use the skirting material? Lattice with either real or fake climbing vines.
don't have any skirting material, not able to cut lattice or do anything w/tools but I really like climbing ivy. thx
Some craft/ hobby stores sell different size wooden crates, or grocer's have them from their veggies or fruits an throw them away, or a plastic milk crate. Just get a can of Krylon spray paint in a bright spring color, paint crate, set over top of hitch an place a nice plant on top. You may have to knock out one side of a crate or from two crates but whatever fits over. top of hitch. I live in the country & some neighbors have done this & even hung something above it like wind chimes. Just decorative, pretty, not much labor involved & no more ugly hitch an removable. Wish you luck.
Maybe a table of some kind? Shorten the legs? Something like that, to utilize it somehow. Maybe as a bench, a planter, without putting any weight on it.
