Bob, I pull past the site at least 5 yards and start backing with a slight oposite steering wheel until the trailer breaks into the turn, then I start following it. If you are having to do a 90 degree jackknife ---- you will have to make some pull ups to adjust. Remember that the 5th wheel is your pivot point and that is right over your back wheels of the TV. This is just my way, but I back the wheels of the trailer and let the wife worry about the extra hang over of the trailer behind the wheels. Different strokes for different folks, as some will try to control the rear of the trailer but for me that depth perception is too far so I back the wheels of the trailer as my reference point.
