Trailer Alignment Kit Magnet Hitch Line Up Boat Camper #888

Unfortunately, I have two trailers, one conventional and one goose neck. The conventional trailer was so easy to hook up (1st or 2nd trying to align is normal), that I bought a second set (I keep each set with its trailer so I don't have to wonder where it is) for the goose neck; it's just as easy to align.For the goose neck, I only need one. I mount it on the pickup bed where it contacts the hitch and painted the point where it belongs. Easy!The tool saves me time and eliminates frustration. Well worth the money.

The only way these things work is if you can attach then to a perfectly level surface which is hard to do on the trailer side of the hitch. They are really cheaply made so the telescoping part that attaches to the base is really lose and does not stand straight up. I had high hopes for this product but I guess but I will have to go back to using my wife to help me attach my trailer.

Opened up and tried the item. Works ok. And at a reasonable price. Haven't had the chance to use it yet

I can't see the hitch ball in the bed of my truck so backing under my fifth wheel trailer has been a guessing game until now. I have an Andersen Ultimate fifth wheel hitch and by placing the magnetic base of the marker on the bolt in front of the hitch ball, I not only get it lined up perfectly, but the pin box knocks the marker off when I have backed far enough so I no longer have to worry about my tailgate taking a beating by hitting my trailer.

Magnets are strong but because of their rectangular shape the one for the trailer doesn't sit in an solid or upright position. See what I mean by looking at the right side of the product picture. The telescopic parts are flimsy. Think of the bent radio antennas on your old portable radio or boom box. They don't last very long and are easily extented too far and come apart, or bent.I've seen good ones with fiberglass poles at my local John Deere shop. Cost more, but are worth it. There's another type on Amazon called the "Hitchin Rod", but can't tell from the picture or description if those are fiberglass.

This is the second type of alignment balls I've purchased. The first pair [not magnetic, but plastic]. broke the first time I used them. One of these broke when it was extended and I now have it taped together. The magnets are pretty strong and do stick pretty well; however you might find that configuration of the hitch and ball don't support keeping the rods vertical and aligned. Still they are way better than doing without and they are way cheaper than a backup camera.

Work so well as advertised, I put these guys on the back of my truck and trailer and, and only had to get out once to make sure the ball was under the hitch. I would recommend this product great idea!
