Front trailer hitches
Does parking with a front hitch make it easier then a rear hitch? I've got 25 enclosed trailer with a tight area to park in. Just wondering if getting a front hitch would make it easier.

Unbelievable the difference having the steerable wheels closer to the pivot point makes, once you try it you'll wonder why you have been doing it "backwards" all this time.

Isn't you neck going to get sore from having to drive down the highway looking over your shoulder all the time if your hitch is on the front?

It's so much easier. I can back my camper into its spot on the side of my house but its easier and faster to unhook and swap it to the front.

Plus you only have one speed, unless you put the trans in backwards!!
