Selfie Hitch

Check this up and coming product. Looks pretty cool. Making it easy for a hookup. They are on Kickstarter trying to get it to market.

I don't need something like that, but if I did what's wrong with throwing a block of firewood behind the truck tire when dropping the trailer then backing up to the block when hitching to it?

A simpler solution is a backup camera and you don't have to store it plus it works on uneven ground. I think someone had to much time on their hands.

I came up with this idea 25 years ago when I was in the 6th grade. Then, I learned how to back up to a trailer.

A backup camera makes it too easy. So, no.

I think it might be more accurate to say you are on Kickstarter trying to get people to give you money.

Of all the 4 year old threads to bring back to life, this is the one you choose? A product so ridiculous it couldn't even attract Kickstarter fans to throw their money at it?

A back up camera works really well. No need for silly gadgets. Moving on.
