Default Flag to show trailer corner.

Reversing would be a challenge!

I thought about fixing flags to the rear corners so I could see where they
were.

Looks to be a potential solution. Wing mirrors are 1400 mm off the ground
(to give an idea of eye level) so these should be visible through the back
as the bolts on the trailer I am thinking of using are about 650mm of the
ground when the trailer is level.

These may be a bit flimsy, and possibly not designed for travelling at 60
mph.

Anything else I might be able to just bolt on?

You could try some radio antennas- the kind used for PMR radio. You'd
need to make a simple bracket - a simple plate wound do with a few holes.

You could add a flag but a bit of bright coloured heat strike tubing
over the rod may be enough.
