Accidents and scratched during hitchups can be costly not to mention the arguments that follow. Yep, the girls just don't have any spacial concept and men don't know when to keep their mouths shut!
I was a real klutz with a trailer. I had the dents and scratches on the back of my SUV to prove it. And even if I didn't ding my rear end, it took me forever to line up the hitch ball under the trailer coupler. Then, on a trip to Australia, where it seems like everybody pulls a boat, a camper, or a trailer of one kind or another - I discovered Couple-MateŽ. Suddenly, no more damage to my SUV. And no more hook up hassles. Installs easily in minutes, fits any standard receiver and works with most size hitch balls. The unique plated steel guide wings can also be locked into position to secure an unattended trailer to your vehicle. - David Pilvelait USA

TIP 1: To insure correct height during hitchup count the number of links on the ground from your safety chain when unhitching trailer. When camping or during long stays it is likely the trailer or camper wheels will sink slightly and/or children may adjust the jack stand when playing. When hitching up, count the links on the ground again and adjust height to original position.
TIP 2: During hitchup back your vehicle approximately 3' from the coupler head. Exit the vehicle and inspect that the wing is in close proximity to engage the trailer coupling head. Reverse until you feel Couplemate center the trailer, then reverse and look in the mirror to see the trailer move approximate 1'. This procedure ensures your trailer is out of the wheel ruts and will easily move backwards or forwards when you wind down the jack stand. This procedure helps eliminate the tongue of the trailer coupler from becoming struck on top of the tow ball and ensures a correct hookup.
TIP3: The base plate has an elongated hole that allows adjustment forward and backward. If your tongue on your trailer coupling is getting caught just move the base plate forward or backward for a perfect fit.
TIP4: The base plate elongated hole can be further elongated to accept larger trailer coupler than 2". Once the hole has been elongated towards the front, the base plate can be pushed back further to accomodate 2 5/16" trailer couplings. Note: The base plate hole may need to be widened.
