ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a laser-guided alignment apparatus for aligning various trailer hitches to a vehicle. The alignment apparatus can align trailers with either a bumper ball hitch, a gooseneck hitch, or a fifth-wheel hitch. The alignment apparatus of the present invention uses lasers that produce beams of light that produce reflecting points which are reflected on a target. These various reflecting points are aligned to indicate proper alignment of a trailer to a vehicle.
