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 ...

Okay, I'm doing some pondering here...
I have an 18' double axle trailer that does not have a ball on the tongue thing.
How could this work if the trailer won't move?
What do you mean by "does not have a ball on the tongue thing"?
What do you mean by "if the trailer won't move"?
Need clarification.
Thank you for asking the same questions I was wondering about. I just figured that I really didn't understand his comments or what kind of RV hitch he was using:):):)????? I could't figure out, as far as I know there are only 3 ways to hook up a trailer: regular TT with a ball hitch, 5th. wheel or the in bed kind of hitch that ranchers typically use!!! What do I know:):):)
Well, in the videos I've watched (boat trailers), the tongue jack has a wheel on it, and obviously, the whole trailer is lighter. In the video, the trailer rolls on its wheel into the "guide" and slides itself over the ball on the truck hitch.
How's a heavier trailer, with no wheel on the tongue jack, going to "slide" into position within the V guide?
I'm really hoping this thing could work for me because I jump in and out of the truck a LOT each time I hook up... :)
