ABSTRACT:
A hitch guide comprises a generally V-shaped member mounted in a horizontal orientation with the base of the V forwardly of the ball and two arms extending rearwardly. The V-shaped guide member is releasably mounted on a horizontal plate underneath the ball by two vertical pins adjustably mounted on the arms which drop into holes in the plate. Thus the guide member is used only when backing up the towing vehicle to the hitch and guides the hitch coupling in the V-shape to a position directly over the ball. When aligned, the guide member is removed for regular towing.
