Abstract: A trailer hitch alignment apparatus is comprised of a convex mirror assembly adjustably mounted to a vertical stanchion assembly which in turn is removably mounted within mounting means fixedly attached to the tow bar of a trailer. Vertical stanchion assembly is height adjustable to permit raising or lowering of the mirror assembly to a height which permits it to be viewed by a driver from within a towing vehicle, either directly or via a rear-view-mirror. The mirror assembly is situated substantially over the hitch socket of the trailer and angled until a reflection of the hitch socket is caused to appear in the convex reflective surface of the mirror assembly. Thusly positioned, the driver is able to maneuver the towing vehicle while backing towards the trailer until the hitch ball mounted to the towing vehicle is visibly reflected in the mirror. Continued maneuvering of the vehicle is carried out until the driver visualizes the hitch ball below the hitch socket for subsequent coupling.
