Sometimes there is a simple solution to a pain in the neck process.

When trying to align a car or truck to a trailer ball without an
assistant you can set up a mirror to watch the ball and hitch as you
are backing up. Look at the above pictures.


I like it :-) I'll have to make up a jig for my boat trailer.


Mine fits into the jack wheel. I realize you might need to find a
different way of mounting the mirror. Obviously mirror alignment is
critical.


Boat's under cover now. Come spring I'll surely try it out.
