A school would be a really good thing. I too am learning anew. Moved from a 26' TT to a 38' 5er. Big difference in backing. A bit more room needed for forward turns because of the pivot point and extra length (about 4.5' more from bumper to 5er wheelset. Learned a life lesson yesterday that I will pass on, keep the clutter in your truck bed - leveling boards,etc - clear of your break-away cable. The clutter can capture the cable and cause an embarassing and sudden stop during a turn. I was at a very low speed and there was no traffic so no damage was done other than to my nerves. New motto "A clean truck bed makes for a clean pull." Never stop learning! Go RVing and the learning experience is eternal.(Tom, thanks for the link)
