Abstract: A self-centering hitch is set forth for securement of a trailer to an associated tow vehicle. The self-centering hitch includes a conventionally orthogonally oriented ball formed with an arcuate concave centering plate oriented rearwardly and integrally to a support securing said ball. Said centering plate is formed of a convex orientation relative to said ball with a radius of curvature oriented medially of said ball aligned with the center of said ball. The center plate is further formed with a plurality of switches formed integrally to said plate and associated with alarm means for indication of a right or left positioning of a hitch to be secured to said ball to assist in securement of said hitch to said ball.
