Since changing cars I can't see the little trailer when towing it. I

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?

When I had a small trailer, I bolted a couple of broom handles onto
the rear corners to act as guides.

Was it a wooden trailer?

This is a fairly ancient tin trailer so not much to bolt to apart from
the lower rear corners.

I would prefer to use the existing bolts, one on each side.

Worth considering, though, as broom handles are not expensive. :-)

Some magnets to attach the poles then?
Just take them off when driving fast.


Indeed, wcamerahy would you need to be estimating the position of
the back corners of an attached trailer whilst doing 60mph,
forwards?

Uh duh!

Let me make it simple for you.

Two basic requirements:

(1) Shows the location of the corners when reversing.

(2) Remains fixed to the trailer and undamaged when towing at the legal
maximum of 60 mph on dual carriageway.

Too difficult to comprehend?
