Trailer Survey

If anyone that has used a trailer can fill this survey out it would be greatly appreciated. I am doing this for an engineering class at my High School. I will be posting this in multiple sub forums so i apologize for duplicates. Here is a link to the survey. Thank you for your time.

I don't have to worry about it. I have a hole in the trailers that I hook up to and I stick a pole right there and just back up until it bumps the truck a bit then I pull forward a tab and I am in. My hitch lines up with the tounge everytime because that pole is where the tounge is. Plus another way I do it is take off the tailgate and I see everything. Never a problem either way.

I know but seriously what is he going to do when the back up camera breaks does he have another technique. It is always good to have a back up plan.
