An automobile-RV trailer hitch, the first half of which is securely mounted to the rear underside of the automobile, and the second half of which is securely mounted to the underside of the trailer. When the trailer is attached to the automobile, the two hitch halves interlock. A locking rod is inserted horizontally to cause the hitch to act as a single unit. Horizontal rotation is prevented, but the trailer is able to pivot vertically around the locking rod to compensate for the trailer going over bumps in the road.
