Default A Sweet Ride

Actually, the only thing that takes any time and causes any aggravation
is aligning my vehicle with the trailer so I can hitch the two up. If
I'm going out with someone, that's no problem, and takes less than a
minute. If I am hooking up by myself, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
================================================== ==================
I posted (with pix) how I solved this little aggavating problem. You
must have missed it. I rigged a 4 inch. wide angle mirror on top of
the winch post so that I could see it from the truck. Then just
watched in the mirror as I backed up to the trailer hitch. When the
hitch ball disappears under the trailer hitch, it is usally lined up
perfectly. Sometimes it takes a little adjusting, but after a few
practice runs, I got to where I hit it 90% of the time.

Happy boating, Norm
