Charlie, I paid $10 for the magnetically attached trailer alignment thing with the yellow balls on telescoping rods (like an antenna) at HF store. One of the telescopic rods came apart on second use but I crimped it a bit with pliers and it is usable. They aren't as good as a Wally World $100 lisc plate bracket backup camera but they work for me and are easily moved from vehicle to vehicle.

They would work much better if I would make a little flat platform on the hitch and the trailer tongue to place the magnet on as the magnet doesn't hold the thing steady on a curved surface with wind.
