ABSTRACT:
A base plate has an aperture which allows the plate to be mounted flatwise on a drawbar under the hitch ball. The base plate has a front integral wall of short height which allows side to side swinging movement of a trailer tongue over the top of it when the tongue is hitched to the ball. A flared trailer tongue guide is removably seated on the base plate in contact with the rear surface of the short front wall. The flared guide is locked in place by a pair of pivotal latch members having latch fingers that engage firmly against the bottom surface of the base plate. The aperture in the base plate is oblong to allow adjustment for the stop position of a trailer tongue as it bottoms out in the flared guide.
