Great job - hard to find a video where no prior knowledge is assumed!

Nice video. Those tennis balls on a telescoping rod with a magnetic base worked good for me when hooking up. I would even use them when I had a helper.

Thank you! I especially appreciate that you had no camera or helper. I am about to take an old van and connect it to a trailer by myself for my first try. I was getting very stressed out watching videos of big fishermen with fancy trucks and all the fancy gadgets do it so easily. This was so much better! Wish me luck.

Real people boat with common how too’s .. Tnx Mr. Good job on your presentation! I have to backup my trailer and boat into steep driveway into my garage, it comes with a whole bunch of other issues.. but I see we’re doing the same thing. I also work with a jack when I’m inches off the floor.
