Back Up Camera, Swift Hitch
If you have the right equipment towing a trailer can be an easy and enjoyable adventure. Have bad equipment and it can be dangerous and a night mare. If you tow a horse trailer, car, camper, boat, or tool trailer, I know there is one experience you don’t like; hooking up the trailer to the hitch.
You basically have two options; first, if you are by yourself, you wear the seat of you tow vehicle out by jumping in and out to see how close the ball of the hitch is to the trailer and if it is lined up correctly. Once you get it close you start pushing or tugging on the trailer to get it the last inch or so to match up with the receiver.
Second, if you have someone with you; they stand by the trailer and make hand signals or yell directions to you. If you are real high tech you may have walki-talkies to help with the shouting. Usually, this results in screaming and statements like, “No, your other left!”
As entertaining as this might be for those of you with a sick sense of humor, I just discovered something that promises to stop all this. I love electronic gadgets, most men do. I just came across the Swift Hitch. It is a portable back-up camera and viewer.
We tested this product briefly as soon as we opened the box and charged the two units. It only took 2.5 hours for a full charge on both.
As soon as I mounted the camera on my tailgate it was a breeze. A picture is provided to demonstrate exactly what you are going to see in the viewer.
This is what you see when you are getting close to the trailer. A swing to the right or to the left and you are right on target.
