If you look at a semi trailer the trailer wheels are a lot closer to the rear of the trailer than on a fiver. That hangover on the fiver is the problem. WE ARE NOT BACKING INTO A DOCK. We are backing in the a camp site. Jeezz Ca grab a glove and get into the game. The further the distance between the pin and the center of the trailer wheels the easer the backing.
Or better said try backing a 12 foot tent trailer, then a 40 foot fiver. The longer the trailer the slower things happen. The small tent trailer goes every which way but start. But the 40 foot fiver kinds of glides back. Just think how easy it is with a 53 foot trailer. This test is a typical CA nonrational mess. I may own a business in CA but I am darn glad I live in AZ. Just my two cents.
