ABSTRACT:
A trailer hitch guide provides a temporary, removable V-shaped fence partly embracing a hitch ball for guiding a trailer tongue into place to fit over the ball. The guide is provided as an attachment made up in part of a flat plate having a central opening for accommodating the hitch ball, and this opening is elongated fore and aft to enable selective positioning of the plate relative to the ball so as to assure a proper location of the other part, which is a hitch fence mountable on the plate. Attachment of the fence to the plate is effected by downwardly and rearwardly directed studs on the fence that removably fit openings in the plate, the shape of the studs counteracting the forward thrust of the trailer tongue during hitching and also enabling easy mounting and dismounting of the fence to and from the plate, which remains on the towing vehicle hitch structure as by welding or attaching bolts.
