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!

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
