RV Trailer backup target

These parts and a 3/8" metal rod create a target to use when backing up to hitch up an RV. It eliminates the need to have someone guide you or getting in and out a number of times. It is certainly cheaper than a backup camera.

These blocks can be attached to the front of an RV and will hold a rod with a target that will be visible and touch the vehicle when the hitch ball is under the trailer. The rod is bent to touch some specific spot on the car. The rod slides in and out easily and is only in place during the hook up.

I used a 4' aluminum rod and attached the blocks to the plastic propane tank cover. The target touches the lettering on the cap window when I am in the right place. Four 1/4"[20] x 1" carriage bolts with washers and nuts are required.
