Hi Oldbird. Did you notice the white stripe on the front of the g/neck? I have a bed mat in the truck with 2 white stripes painted on either side of the ball extending back to the tail gate. I have a camera underneath the rear window aimed at the ball and rearward. When I'm backing up, I line up the stripe on the g/neck between the 2 stripes in the bed. Really, not too difficult, and my wife helps.

I opted for a g/neck because I didn't want the big 5th wheel contraption in the bed; added weight and clutter. So, with a g/neck when unhooked, my bed is clear.
