How many caravanners would like to be able to hitch up accurately without help from another person ,straight under the hitch & then only having to lower the van onto the ball ????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

Im surprised there was no proper response this considering Ive often watched people sruggling to get it right even with the wife's help then having to heave a heavy van sideways to get it close enough to lower onto!!! *-)

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.

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???????
