OK, All longer Montanas and backing in spots

So we have already traveled 25,000 miles in our 3820FK which is 41' feet long and we are a total of 58' feet long when connected. So one of our next trips is going back East, and there are a lot of back in spots, instead of our usual favorite full hookup pull thrus, so we setup cones today in a large parking lot, and it was very frustrating. We set the entry pylons at 21 feet wide, and then about 15 feet behind those we narrowed the space down to 15' wide, and added more cones to simulate a 80 foot deep space. So we assumed the road was 25' feet wide, and I hugged the left side by 2-3 feet, and we practiced numerous attempts to jack the 5th wheel and then chase it and we were only successful about 2 times out of 15? Does anyone out there have a better strategy, or did we make our test course toooo tight to succeed?
