Trailer towing system

Abstract

An accessory towing apparatus that connects a towing vehicle to a gooseneck type trailer. The accessory towing apparatus includes a chassis assembly mounted on an axle having two ground engaging wheels. The chassis assembly includes two linkage arms, which are attached to and extend from the axle. The ends of the two linkage arms are designed to engage two brackets attached to the main frame of the towing vehicle. The linkage arms may further include a pivot point near the axle attachment point that permits the arms to pivot and spread away from one another in order to facilitate the engagement of the linkage arms in their respective brackets. A novel clamping lever system may also be utilized to secure the two linkage arms into their respective brackets. An automatic alignment and attachment system may also be included to greatly simplify the attachment process of the gooseneck type trailer to the towing vehicle.
