Backing the tow vehicle to the hook

[macojoe]

hook up the trailer, then glue a button on top of tail gate right in the center, put another button on trailer were you can see it.
Line up the buttons when backing down you will be right on!

The distance is another story, you can leave the trailer down till you tap the ball, then raise trailer a bit and back up, or tap the truck and pull forward a nit you be on every time.

I just pick my boat trailer up and put it on the ball easy as pie.

But with my cargo trailer I do it similar to how Mr. Sandman does it. It takes a few times back and forth checking it because I park it on the side of the driveway and have to angle my truck over to it instead of straight on, therefore there is more guessing but I got used to it.
