I actually prefer the back in sites as most are on the perimeter of the CG and usually, AGAIN, usually they are the preferred sites as you normally do not have someone behind you. Another trick I learned at Truck Driving School, is to put the truck in 4WD, if you have it. This gives you a lower gearing and the turck will virtually creep in reverse, you don't need as much gas control. BTW, my first Back-in job was into a 90degree site with no room for awning and barely enough for the slides, it was in Canada. Many onlookers really made me slow down and do it right. As it was it still took me several tries, but I did not damage anything and that is the object, as Carol says....
