O what a feeling
Tonight we hooked up our trailer for camping this weekend.
I can't believe what we did......
We backed right into our haha the first attempt!
Usually it takes us 15 min to an hour to get the thing hooked up.
I guess practice does make perfect!
A very happy camper tonight,
Dennis

Ya know ... backing in to your haha sounds positively 'exciting'. Sorry couldn't resist. At any rate, some days are just good ones and you just had one. Enjoy the feeling

 Any problems with it, first one I got took a dump, second one took a dump. Company has replaced them both. Think I'll keep the new one in the box and use the $99.00 dollar one I got from Wally World.
 Sure looks good though
Great picture eah..

Oh thats cool.. but then you dont have that amazing feeling when you keep backing a foot and then get out and look.. then another foot and get out and look keeping an eye on some fixed position guaging the distance your backing and then you get out one more time and bingo.. just above that ball.. or not.
no really.. thats a great simple idea.. good luck with it.

thats a great idea. we put our AS in the same spot. Put a rubber stop for the trucks rear tires. all you have to do is center. Back until the truck tires nudge the stop. works most of the time.

Yep.. Wally Cam has worked fine from day one.
The new Swift Hitch sits in it's box, waiting for Wally to fail.
Even after two failures they wouldn't consider a refund.
eBay Motors: New Hitching Rods (item 120212098758 end time Nov-12-08 12:19:58 PST)
These also help a lot even with the camera. Also available at Camping World.
