... where's my trailer?

New to me truck ... so where's the trailer when behind the truck ... with no boat on it? Even though the truck has a reverse camera, when the trailer drops off the edge of that steep ramp, it drops out of site.

In use, I also clipped the 'stik' it to the transom with the boat on the trailer too and in the dark the reverse lights reflected the red lens so that I could easy see what was where. The plastic clamp made it ohhh sooo easy! Note how the design for this cheap $1 clamp also hold the 'stik' post.

OR you could just get a couple of friends to help. LOL

This is way better than jumping out while jack knived and taking my tailgate off! Haha, but I like this idea especially in low light

I actually had a friend do that ... he was driving his Dad’s old Chevy Impala, a HUGE older big azz 4-door car. But he was a powerlifter ... as oh yeah, the 14’ skiff and 9.9hp Johnson OB motor were still on the trailer :shock: when he picked the entire rig up and straightened it out behind his car!

I welded some 2"×2" pillars for guiding the boat and also for backing up. Also a great place for the lights and plate. I can see everything when backing it up (even with a couple beers) through the mirrors. Even tought the misses to do it!
