Can you still see through your rear view mirror? If so, I always thought a mirror that would magnet to the nose of the trailer, with a bracket that mounted it at approx 45 degrees, would be neat. Then you could look through your rear view mirror, into that magnetic mirror, and directly down onto your hitch.
If you cannot see through the rear view mirror, I don't know what to tell you. Either have another person there to help you or plan on getting in and out of your pickup 4-5 times each time you hitch up.

I think the camera idea is the best, we sell an easy to install camera that can be mounted right on your rear tag. It comes with a small color LCD screen that plugs into your 12v outlet. The system is mostly wireless and inexpensive. Sells for $229.00. Can be install other places also.

I went to Autozone and got 2 extendable pen magnets and 2 antenna balls. Put the antenna balls on the magnetics, extend the magnets, put one magnet on the ball and the other one on the coupler. When the magnets move, you are perfectly aligned everytime!!!!
