Backing my 6 X 10', 14' overall cargo motorcycle trailer behind our 24' Class C is quite a challenge. I cannot see it in the mirrors and I had to angle the camera down sharply to see the ball when hooking up. I solved this by replacing the sandshoe on the bottom of the tongue jack with a large urethane wheel, $30. Now, as long as I get the distance between the ball and hitch even close I can just roll the empty trailer into alignment.
I reset the camera angle to a higher trajectory and now get a good look at what the trailer is doing. Turns out that when I have backed exactly the proper distance back to the trailer the top of the diamond plate on the front of the trailer aligns perfectly with the bottom of the camera display. Could not have asked for a better alignment tool, hooray!
If anyone can fix my attempt at posting the photo above I would be ever so grateful {darned Photobucket... grrrr}
