Good reading and good information. I have always been able to back reasonable well. And continue to improve each time I do it. Practice makes better, not sure about perfect.
I have a friend who has tried for years and still can't seem to get the hang of it. I will pass it along to him. Maybe it will help some.

Thanks, great site. Very useful.

Branson "get together" may have a backing up and hitching and unhitching class while the "get together" is there.
For the ladies.

The simplest way to help someone learn to back is have them put their steering hand in the middle of the bottom of the steering wheel then move their hand the way they want the trailer to go. Just point the trailer where you want it then follow it.

Yeah, I tried that with him. First couple of corrections are OK, then it is all downhill again. He has to stop and rethink it and try again. He is one of the types that provide entertainment (and maybe symphathy) for all those around.
