Abstract:
The invention allows the alignment of a towing vehicle to a trailer tongue bringing the towing vehicle into close alignment with the tongue thus permitting the tongue to be lowered onto the hitch ball to complete the connection. This alignment can be accomplished exclusively by the driver of the towing vehicle without outside assistance. The alignment device includes a telescopic mast that includes a mirror with a ball and socket connection for aligning the mirror to the tongue of the trailer. The alignment device includes a pair of mounting plates that have a plurality of mounting holes to allow the mounting to several different sized trailer tongues, namely, a four inch, six inch and an eight inch tongue. Once the connection of the tongue to the ball is made, the alignment device remains in the position set for future use.
