When I first got my Montana, which was my first ever fifth wheel, I also purchased a set of these: Click Here.. They were one tool I used in my hitching, towing, and backing arsenal.

After about 6 months, I did not need them any more as I learned how to base distances (hitching) on other markings on the trailer and hitch (and the mirror).

Still, if the hitch is completely blind, the tool above is a tremendous help. Easy to use. Attach one right on the top of the hitch ball (for a gooseneck), the other directly on top of the gooseneck itself. Keep the two in alignment as you are backing up to hitch. Once they touch, they will both fall off or fall over because they are magnetic. You are now spot on!

You can find these at Wall Mart (RV section), Amazon, Home Depot, E-bay and most RV dealership's parts stores.
