Oh, by the way. Much to learn pulling these things. My first one took me a year and a half before I stopped running over curbs around corners. When turning left, get in the turn lane if one exists, pull THRU the intersection as far as possible before starting to turn and then turn hard. That way you have all the road to get the rig around the corner. Similar when doing right turn. Right lane and if there are more than one lane to the right, use them all if no traffic!! HA HA Better than running over the curb and/or hitting a post plus the curb.
Go to a big EMPTY parking lot and practice backing up. I wasn't too bad the first few years because I took whatever kind of site available - backin or pull thru. The last 10 years of so I always try for pull thrus, so don't get much back in practice. Search for Z method backing. It may help some. My problem is having enough width in the lane because to back up correctly it always seems to require a lot of space.
