How well can you back up a trailer???

[Junky]

This is how you reverse with a trailer. In this video from Norway, you will see a driver backing up his car and trailer at high speed through parking lots, roundabouts and intersections.

Cool.... seen it before. I used to laugh at guys at the boat dock trying to back trailers in. Then I'd get in the boat and let Mary back me in......

I'd be better off if none of my vehicles had Reverse. Trailer only adds to the problem.

For some reason, beginning when I started driving at 15, backing a trailer seemed natural to me. However to back up like them, I too would have to be driving from inside the trailer.

I learned to back up a 2 axle farm trailer, front axle on a swivel, when I was about 10. Seen a little old lady back up a similar trailer loaded with hay- but she was using a horse instead of a tractor.
To be real good at backing up, you have to do it all the time. Works the same with alcoholism?

The shorter the tongue on those farm trailers, the harder they were to back up.

When I was young I could backup with the tow truck like there was no tomorrow just used the mirrors. With a car trailer and my truck, I suck at backing up.

I was taught a super simple method. Pull up so everything is in a straight line then grab the bottom of the wheel at 6 o'clock with one hand. If you want the trailer to go left move your hand left. If you want it to go right move it to the right. Should never have to go past 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock. If you are that out of whack stop pull forward again till everything is inline and start again.

I could whip my 22' boat in and out real fast. Now my jet skis were a totally different story the shorter the trailer the worse it was. Only thing worse then the jetski trailer was the tow dolly it just goes wherever it wants to I hate having to back that thing up.
