Such a great job you two! That was great! I drove a tractor trailer for a couple of years and you are correct! Practice, practice , and more practice! That is how ya get good at backing! One more tip for backing NEVER back into your “blind side” if you can help it! Blind side being the passenger side. It is referred to in the trucking industry as blind side backing! BTW…love the music ya got going there at the end! Who dat be?

[@Hanginwithherky]

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for the video. I can barely back up my small suv let alone a trailer.

[@Hanginwithherky]

Pick your imaginary line on the ground and try to get the trailer wheels to follow that

I really appreciate this video!!

[@Hanginwithherky]

Hopefully this will be helpful

[@rockesark9689]

Great video and the only thing I'd add is to be careful that you don't jack knife the trailer into your bumper. Keep an eye on the mirrors but don't forget to look at the backup camera every once in a while too. There will be a day when a light bulb comes on and it's not as hard as you though.

Good points

[@austinwhipple1136]

Always have a “goal” in mind. Get out and look. Especially if you are by yourself. Get out and look and reassess your situation. Even if you have to get out multiple times. Walk to the to the back of the trailer and get a plan and know that it’s ok to change that plan if you get out of line. I was a professional truck driver for years and a slow and steady plan with a “goal” in mind helps tremendously. And remember, you’re not the only ones having trouble backing up. CDL drivers no matter how good they are still have trouble backing occasionally. And practice, practice,practice!

[@Hanginwithherky]

I also think people should not be so hard on themselves these little campers react vary fast. Like everyone says slower than slow.

[@austinwhipple1136]

@@Hanginwithherky these tiny trailers are harder to back up than a semi trailer. A good portion of the time I don’t unhook and just push it around by hand but that’s not an option for everyone.

[@carolfarrell7765]

Great video I have added a rear view camera to the back of my trailer helps when your along and I like seeing the road when traveling.

[@Hanginwithherky]

That's a great idea!

[@zacharyhunter6408]

I think I’m taking mine to practice after church

[@Hanginwithherky]

Have fun !

[@tmo6349]

Thank you so much Ed & Nancy for this video! I’ve had my Range Runner since March of 2021 & I still haven’t learned to back up yet & don’t really have anyone to teach me in person. I’ve learned more from your KZbin videos than anything else. My next rally is in October & I believe I will be backing Daisy up by then! 🔙🌼🩵

[@Hanginwithherky]

I hope this is helpful if you have the opportunity go to a big parking lot and practice. I’m sure you will get the hang of it.

[@cathyarmstrong7583]

Really good useful tips thank you “small adjustments” So helpful I turn mine like I’m driving an 18 wheeler-not good. Nancy your vocal directions are so calm and spot on! You too have a good week!

[@Hanginwithherky]

We try to remain calm. It drives us crazy when he hear folks yelling at the driver. It just makes things worse. Learning to back is frustrating and takes practice

[@donavananderson7097]

Thank you for another great video. I heard a few things I hadn't before, looking forward to giving them a try.

[@Hanginwithherky]

Glad you like them!

[@chadi7173]

THANK YOU! I really struggle backing in our RangeRunner. I have a little tow dolly and it's great getting parked in the garage - which is an odd angle anyway. I always look for pull through sites, but that's not always possible.

[@Hanginwithherky]

Hope this was helpful

Beautiful video! Subscribed!!

[@Hanginwithherky]

Thanks

[@ThomasTribeTrails]

They are crazy hard to back. My tow vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler pulling a Venturist. As soon as you put it in reverse it jack knifes to a cardinal direction opposite of what I want.

[@Hanginwithherky]

It takes practice and then once in a while you have a bad day and have a hard time backing

[@ShenaMiloni-vj8ku]

Now how do you take the hitch off and how do you put the hitch on to your toll vehicle

[@Hanginwithherky]

It’s a receiver hitch it just slides out
