trouble lining up your hitch?

I don't think much of that hitch (clever, though), but that's an interesting website- with things like this

I think it's pretty neat.

You can buy a backup camera for a lot less than $349.

From their website:
A Reel-Quik Hitch has a Class III towing capacity of 6,000 pounds for gross trailer weight, and 600 pounds for tongue weight.

Most of us have a lot more than 600 lbs of tongue weight.

Not a very high towing capacity or tongue weight.


EDIT: downtheroad beat me to it ;)

Yea, beat me too. Watching the video, I kept wondering if that device is strong enough to support a weight distribution system..... even a simple light-weight one.

Bottom line ... aligning the hitch is not a big deal. That invention must be a "guy" thing. Heaven forbid if some guys ask for help or assistance! The best hitch aligner I've got is my wife pointing in the mirrors which way the back of the truck has to go!

But better yet, is to simply learn how to align the trailer with your mirrors or simply turning around and looking backwards!

Oh well. I'm sure someone will buy it, thinking is the best thing since apple butter. You can save yourself a LOT of money by simply learning how to align by sight!

And install it quicker than you can use that contraption. Mine works great, and is useful in normal day to day driving. A well spent $129.00

I've got a standard hitch that can swing L/R to align easily. wasn't all that expensive.

I put a dot on the trailer cap, lined up with a mark on the top of my tailgate. When the two line up, I'm lined up with the hitch. It cost me pennies to do, and has saved a whole lot of time and swearing.
