Most vans now seem to have a fibreglass cover over the A-Frame which would make one difficult to fit. If you don't have a mover it could be a handy alternative especially for those that would struggle to move the van manually.

Just back under the hitch.  There's no need for any fancy things like this, that just add weight and serve no purpose.

What if you're hitching up several trailers every day, and none of them belong to you? As usual, you're working on your own.

It's just something you have to learn to do.  Of course it's easier with someone to watch, but perfectly possible on your own.  Any competent driver will be able to centre the car on the hitch, so it's just a question of how far back you go.

When you think you're close, get out and look.  When you get back in, take a sighting on something outside against the door frame. Don't move your head.  You can easily see how far to go.

I used to do that when I had a caravan and I was pretty good at it...except for the odd couple of occasions now apparent by the chips in the rear bumper

That gadget looks pretty ideal to me providing as mentioned it can be fitted...and is a sensible price of course.
