I have a (hitch up stick that I made) that I hang from the pin box. I raise the front of the camper until the stick just dangles, remove it and then back up to the camper and align the white lines I painted on the pin box and underside of the trifold tonnoue cover and hitch up in 10 seconds while only looking in the rear view mirror. works like a champ.
The Anderson hitch I purchased has a new mod they added to the pin box. It’s a red plastic box that allows for some error in alignment.as you lower the trailer on the ball. I can see the ball from my seat but allowing some error helps
