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.

Thanks.

Respectfully pointing out that the default option is £5.95.

It looks as though this is only 1085 mm long so barely tall enough and I
would have to find somewhere to drill a hole.

Still, an interesting option I hadn't considered.

Confuse the hell out of bystanders if it looks as though I have twin radio
antennae on the back of my trailer.
