New way to back up the trailer

[baktasht]

Found a new way to back up my trailer into the driveway without a spotter using our Ring floodlight camera. Can't believe it took me this long to realize that it would be helpful to look at the camera feed while backing up.

Good thinking.

I have had one of these for years I bought at Costco for $100. You can place it on the back of the trailer or use to hitch by yourself.

That looks nice, may get one.

Good idea. For years, I've just had a block of wood BEHIND one of the rear tires and simply back the trailer in till it stops, when the tire hits the wood. But that's a GOOD use of technology - as I think all too often we use technology just for the "cool factor", when good 'ol fashioned paper-n-pencil would do the job more efficiently.

At home I know my marks on the concrete, but the gadget is a help at times. It is particularly helpful for those who rarely hook up by themselves.
