hooking up a travel trailer
I'd like opinions about how difficult it would be to hook up a travel trailer for a person who isn't strong. I would want a anti sway bar, & thought about getting a backup camera. Is there strength ...

My TV has a back-up camera so with a little practice it becomes easier to find the hitch. I have a manual tongue jack but an electric would be easier.
To me the biggest problem is the WD hitch, mine weighs about 50 lbs. the bars are about 10 lbs. apiece. The bigger annoyance is I have to remove the hitch with the tail gate up, set it on the ground, drop the tail gate, then pick the hitch up again to set it in the bed.
I am 70 and my DW is a couple of years younger and either of us can handle it. At home the DW puts it in a small garden wagon so it can be rolled into the garage till the next trip. Long term we will put it in the TT’s front storage.
Rest assured, no matter how neat you are, you will get grease on you.
