Hubby generally does the backing up and I do the spotting/aligning for both backing into the spot or hooking up. We use the handheld radios, but we never thought about just using the cell phone and truck radio! That is an excellent idea. I have yet to drive the Montana more than traveling the road into our storage site and backing it in to our storage spot..but intend to go somewhere to practice with it. I was comfortable driving with our travel trailer but it was only 30' long. I feel it is important for both of us to know how because we have been in a situation with friends where due to a health emergency the wife had to drive their rig to the hospital..and leaving from there I had to drive our rig while my husband drove theirs home for them. You just never know!
