Two little tricks that I use, sure make it easy to hook up the tear, all by myself. First, I stand a thin stick or piece of wood leaning right against the front of the trailer hitch. It must be long enough to be seen in the rear view mirror. Then, starting about 20 feet away from the tear, I back up slowly, lining up the rear view mirror and the exact center of the back window, with the vertical stick. As the rear of the car gets near the stick, I drive very slowly and as soon as I see the stick move, I stop! This always works for me, and sure saves wear and tear on the car bumper.
