Know the maximum height of your AC so you do not take it off on a low over hang.

A spotter for backing and great communications between the two. If you can not see your spotter in the BIG (not fish eye) mirror stop until you can.

Find an open parking lot and use the lines to learn turning corners both forward and backing. Note you have to pull almost two times farther forward than you first think before you start backing into a parking pad at a camp grounds.

I try to put my front trailer tire about two feet before the edge of the corner before I start turning with the truck. Yes you have "box" the corners with the truck on the outside edge of the box. NOTE: the back end of the trailer does swing out about a foot and maybe two on a 90 sharp corner. Make sure you have that room on the non turning side of the trailer.

Lots more and I know others will be along to help

Welcome to the forum. Great questions. Read and learn from our mistakes.
