How many campgrounds have suffered damage because someone doesn't know proper backing procedures? Driving is a privilege, not a right, and I think you should show proficiency before youare allowed to do it.

How much of this would some new law or driving test have prevented?
I live near I81. I’ll lay odds there will be a wreck on I81 this afternoon involving a tractor trailer that will block the road for hours between mile marker 120 and 145. The truck will be at fault and the driver will have a valid drivers license. How can I be so sure? It happens every Sunday.
A drivers license does not prevent wrecks on I81 so I don’t see how they could somewhere else. In fact I have never seen a camper wreck on this stretch of road. I’m sure they have happened but I haven’t seen it.
