Folks, its a pop up camper, you dont back that shit up, you unhook it and drag it to where you wanna set it up.

I hate short trailers, like cars on a tow truck, gimme a 53' trailer and I can put it through the eye of a needle at 20 mph backwards. Any thing less, I need a GPS, two guys with flashlights and a Xanax.

You know what, you're absolutely right.

Why not eliminate the towing problem altogether?

Idealy this works. Hopefully there isn't ANY time that you have to back up.

i have quite a bit of towing expirience, i have backed up plenty of boat trailers, 5th wheels, semis and tractor trailers. its all about moving very very slow and knowing what it does when you turn the wheel. i always think about it as the trailer does the opposite of what you do when you turn the wheel, you go left it turns right etc. its really just a matter of going slow and backing up.

**SageTree** · 09-17-2009, 07:24 AM

I guess I should clarify, with your hand at the bottom of the wheel move it to the left to go left, but what I mean is move it to the 9 o clock, which as bongo pointed out is the opposite way. I was saying to the side you want to go...9 oclock vs 3 oclock.....

Bongo is corrrect, is the opposite way I just meant within the window of opprotunity.

Bah to early....too stoned, I think you get what I am saying.

LMFAO....oh as someone who has to move multiple sized trailers on a daily basis at a furniture moving job can say this is legit as fuck.

Quality post no1

I drove a short truck on a recyling route for a while, and a dump truck for my landscaping job and it's REALLY funny to see people fail the 'can I make it' repeatedly. I'm just standing there going 'Ah!, I could get my truck in there one more time, just go' Which has turned into 'Ok, get out of your car and I will do it' This turns into them deciding they can't make it through a 25ft opening, which I wider than a lane.

Fail.
