ABSTRACT:
A winch driven cable guidance system for coupling trailers to tow vehicles. The system comprises of trailer having a trailer hitch coupler, a tow vehicle having a coupling ball joint, and a cable whereby one end of the cable is connected by means of a cable pulley guidance system and secured to a cable drum of a winch. The winch powers the cable drum to reel in the cable and the attached trailer to assist in connecting the trailer to the towing vehicle, thus effecting a universal joint between the trailer and towing vehicle.
