Its new to the rice rocket import car folks... only been popular in our parks for a few years.

you would think that with that kind of money tied up in those cars, they could afford to hire someone to haul their stuff in and meet them wherever they were going.

love that ferrari picture: usually the bikes are more expensive than the cars, except in this case.....:p

Yakima Rack & Roll
 
I have a Yakima behind my Mazda, problem being I can’t see it when empty to park it. Any ideas on visibility items that might help?

PVC
 
I just add a couple of vertical PVC pipes on the back corners of the trailer...problem solved. :cheers1:

As mentioned above, PVC pipe marks the corners and makes them easier to see. I also added end caps, reflective tape, and strapped a towel onto the base for a cushion.

Nothing like a ten year old post popping up.lol
So as a long time truck driver I hear this one every so often and kind of chuckle.
So if you are backing a trailer that you can not see, that means it is going straight, if you see it in your mirrors, one side or the other, it is going that way!!! Lol These little kayak trailers tend to zig zag on you a bit so try not to over correct!

Most definitely
 
If you see to much of your trailer in the rear view mirror you are heading the wrong direction.

Almost as cool as when a kayak fishing legend decides to post a comment after 5+ years of silence. LOL
