One embodiment of a trailer frame (9), which has a receiver section (4) made of a square metal tube on which the hitch (7) travels in and out as a result of the mechanical energy source activated at the push of a button located on the vehicle's dashboard, a button located in the trunk at the rear of the vehicle or by the remote access device. When extending the hitch is desired, the corresponding button is pressed activating the solenoid (5), subsequently activating the motor (1) and as a result the hitch extends for use. Immediately after the solenoid activates again, locking the hitch (7) to the receiver section of the trailer frame, thus transferring the load of the trailer from the motor and lead screw (3) to the trailer frame (9). When retracting is desired, the corresponding button is pressed activating the solenoid (5), subsequently activating the motor (1), as a result the hitch retracts for storage. After the hitch completes its travel, again the solenoid locks the hitch in place. Status indicators in the dash or trunk can inform the user of the position of the hitch (7) at all times. Other variations of this embodiment are possible.
