Private photo plan

Capture the complete configuration, not just the hitch

A side-profile photograph can preserve the powered unit, connection, rolling or carried unit, and road-contact layout in one record.

Stand in a safe, lawful location away from moving traffic.
Capture the complete combination from the side.
Keep the image in your own controlled trip record.
Redact plates, faces, and identifiers before sharing.
Never upload the image through this website; no upload function exists.
