richfaa, I'm a retired school bus driver. I taught my DH how to drive the monty & what to look out for.
We painted a white stripe on the monty plate above the king pin. And use an extendable antenna with a tennis ball on the end & place the antenna in the center in front of the hitch. I align the stripe & antenna & back the truck up to the hitch. DH raises the monty to the right height for me to back into/under the king pin.
Someone on this forum uses a stick for the height of the monty at hook up time. I'm going to do this, just haven't yet. I always forget.
