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-Mate®.
Suddenly, no more damage to my SUV. And no more hook up hassles.
Installs easily in minutes, fits any standard receiver and works with any size
hitch ball. The unique galvanized steel guide wings can also be locked into
position to secure an unattended trailer to your vehicle. - David Pilvelait USA

TIP1: 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 jack. When hitching up, count the links on the ground again
and adjust height to original position.
TIP2:
During hitchup back your vehicle approximately 3' from the coupling 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 wheel. This procedure helps
eliminate the tongue of the trailer coupling 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
couplings 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.
