I had a similar problem with my F150 and a single-place jet ski trailer. With the jet ski on it, I could see the handlebars over the tailgate, but with no ski on the trailer it's impossible to see. It took a $6 bicycle flag and a stainless steel bolt and wing-nut to solve the problem. The flag was trashed after about two years, but the fiberglass pole still served as a good guide when backing the empty trailer down the ramp.
I like that idea as I have a flatbed 2 position ATV trailer that is very hard to see without my ATV on it. I also have a couple of unused 4' fiberglass reflective poles bought at a big box hardware store used on my driveway for when there is too much snow. Just need a couple of mounting brackets for those, no flag and already has reflective tape when the reverse lights are on at night... perfect. Thx.
