ABSTRACT:
A trailer alignment device includes a pair of clamps one provided for each of a ball hitch mounted to a vehicle and a trailer hitch on a vehicle to be towed. Each clamp includes arms for supporting a collapsible vertically extendable rod such that the rods are aligned directly over the ball and hitch respectively. A sighting chain is provided at the end of each rod to assure vertical orientation of the rod. Such structure permits the clamps to be readily attached so that a vehicle can be backed into alignment with a trailer with the ball in alignment under the corresonding hitch when the pair of vertical rods contact one another.
