Ranger Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Put a good mirror on the inside of your front locker door arranged so that you can see the caravan hitch in your cars rearview mirror and the approaching car hitch. I've been using that system for years, works very well, and costs very little, no one elses fault if you miss and poke a hole in the back of your car.

Syd Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Fortunately for me our car is the exact same width as the two handles on the front of the caravan so I line up with these when reversing and hey presto I'm on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Years ago I remember a company advertising a caravan ball hitch that unclipped from the back of the car and pulled out on the end of a long wire cable. One then plugged the ball hitch into the caravan hitch on the tow bar. The cable of the ball was attached to an electric winch, one then winched the caravan to the car, where the winch wire pulled the tow ball C/W a tappered shaft into the car part of the hitch and it clicked into place already to tow away. This is where our Uncle Derek from Ross probably has reference to this and will give us all answers??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I was reversing my motorhome into the drive using the reversing camera of course and thought (dangerous for me to think) why not put a reversing camera on the tow car???????????????????
