Saw a truck stopped in front of me today at a traffic light..Behind his ball mount was a "shield" designed to catch the trailer hitch and "roll" it over the hitch for proper coupling...has anyone seen anything like this before? thnks, Wolfie

Etrailer sells two Trailer Hitch Bumper Guards, it more protects the vehicle and doesn't guide the trailer on the ball.

There is also a Easy-Hitch trailer - hitch guide, probably more what you are looking for. 🙂

and there is always the back up balls. I owned these but was never very successful with them.

My Jeep came with a backup camera, I never thought I use it for anything but I can see the hitch/ball great.
Has anyone else used any of these?

Haven't used a backup camera yet but have gotten price from a local toy store to have one installed. So it shows up in rearview mirrer when it's put in reverse. A little pricy so have to wait for xmas bonus this year.
