ABSTRACT:
A guide is provided for aligning a trailer hitch on a draft vehicle with a receiving socket on a towing load such as a trailer, for assisting a driver of the draft vehicle in connecting the trailer hitch to the receiving socket for towing. The guide comprises a support structure mountable to the draft vehicle, containing a reflective surface on a moveable structure supported at an inclination relative to the trailer hitch. The guide captures an image of the trailer hitch on the draft vehicle so that the driver may view the image of the trailer hitch from the driver's seat of the draft vehicle.
