A mechanism is disclosed for steering in the reverse direction a towed or pulled wheeled vehicle, such as a trailer with one or more axles, each axle having one or more pairs of steerable wheels. A steering rod is connected to at least one of the steerable trailer wheels and extends generally along the trailer axle, terminating at a pivotal connection mechanically movable in relation to a pivotal connection between a fixed support rigid with the trailer axle and a plate rotatable with respect to the trailer axle and angularly positioned by operative association with the vehicle. Movement of the pivotal connection between the steering rod and plate, provided for by suitable mechanical means, imparts a lateral displacement to the steering rod, causing the trailer wheel and by mechanical connection, all trailer wheels, to turn and the trailer to proceed in the same path of movement as the towing vehicle when the vehicle and trailer are moving in a reverse direction.
