Backing the tow vehicle to the hook

My 2009 Tacoma comes with a camera in the rear view. The minute I put it into reverse i get a tv quality pictue on the left 1/3rd of my rear view mirror. Great little option.

Have someone else back up the truck while you watch.

I had the same problem last year. Couldn't see the hitch. On internet I saw a device to bring trailer to truck but too pricey. Fred flintstone method to do same thing is to mount a winch to trailer behind hitch. Put cable around ball and back to winch and crank trailer to ball,secure hitch and cable and off you go. Could be bad on a down slope/grade ,but a stop for wheels would fix that.
