All things considered (meaning mostly Squirrelly himself), perhaps a back up
camera would be the way to go.

Subject: Re: [NVC] Need alignment sight to help with backing trailer

That's good to help you align the hitch when you're hooking up the trailer
(and don't have a helper).

I don't think it would help much with backing up: since it's right at the
hitch point, it will always be more or less in the center of your view no
matter what the trailer is doing.

I second the idea of a kid's bike flag, long fiberglas rod with a day-glo
orange pennant at the top.  Either one at the center-rear, or one on each
rear corner of the trailer.
