Hello all-
Again, this may have appeared in another thread, but I will ask the question.
I seem to have a problem lining up my truck when backing up to hitch our 5er. I always need at least three or four attempts before getting it within the zone of error. My backup camera on the truck is great, til I have to drop the tailgate. Then I am blind. I use the rear view mirror and side mirrors, but always seem to be off. My wife saw a 5er in the campground the other day that had a mirror mounted on the nose cap down above the hitch. When she came to show me the next day on our evening walk with the dog, they had left. I've looked on Amazon but not seeing what I Think she was looking at.
Any thoughts? This always seems to be a bone of contention with us. I'm sometimes tempted to say, "Fine, you back it up"! We've only been doing this for a year, and I keep hoping I'll get better at it.
Cheers,
Papaz
