How To Park Your Trailer in DriveWAY

[@bradfordjones71]

This is the second video of yours I have watched regarding the backing up of trailers. Ive learned more from you in these two videos that I have with any other. Thank you for your time and diagrams, teaching a 51yo beginner in this subject.

That you for the amazing comment! Keep up the learning

I’ve been having trouble figuring this out I never thought of pulling closer to the right curb I was going far left and having problems this video has been the best solution to my problems, thank you so much for being precise in your explanation.. you rock!!

Hey Champ, Think some advise on steering is what people want

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

lol you forgot the backing up part.

[@NormCobbJrTourLife]

I always love to see other creators videos and supported your channel by subscribing to it. However, I have been driving a tractor trailer for 37 years now and the advice you gave here is completely backwards to the safety training every trucking company on the planet gives. What you did here is what is known in the business as blind side backing. Sight side backing is the safest and correct way to back up because, you can see out your drivers side window where the tail of your trailer is going. The way you backed up in this video you cannot see if a child is immediately behind your trailer. Most trucking companies would fire you on the spot for backing up toward your passenger side of your vehicle for just this reason.

[@92813justin]

Great point and really like the safety aspect to this. We always have a spotter. We have to turn on the passenger side because of how steep the driveway is or else the trailer would scrape. Driver side is definitely the better option but is not an option in this case.

Great job hitting the lane you wanted in the driveway. What's your advice for positioning before starting the backup process to hit the lane you want?

[@scottmcdonald1139]

Good explanation, thanks!

[@MB12116]

That is a great tip with backing up on the correct side

[@92813justin]

Glad it was helpful!

Very informative! Im looking to get my first boat and this helps. By the way what's the length of your boat? I have a Tacoma as well and have been getting mixed feedback on what size boat i can safely pull with it. Many thanks!

[@92813justin]

Boat is about 19’ but from teak deal to tongue of trailer probably 22’

[@remibarthes3647]

Hi, I’ve noticed you removed your fresh air exhaust on your boat. Any reason? Thanks for your videos

[@92813justin]

Its great for speeds under 32mph in my opinion. At 36mph its a lot of pressure and water is spraying through the teak deck.

[@Chemistry-Rocks]

What are the next steps for getting the trailer in the garage? Do you need to unhook it and then reposition the truck?

[@92813justin]

No, just keep working your way into the garage. I would try to be as straight as possible going in so you are not turning inside your garage

[@Robcadams1974]

Will.you make a video showing where the vent hose attached to the fuel tank and how to clean out the vent?

[@gantfrost7749]

Info you gave was great. But should make another video actually telling us how to back up, because every time I do it, i jackknife the trailer and have to go back and forth to get it straight and in. I have never been able to back into a driveway in one go.

[@92813justin]

I already have that video, thanks for the comment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn2ofatofNhrbJI

[@itssammiesakran]

@@92813justin that video was a very helpful addition to this 1

[@chasebachman3842]

I was trying to back jetski into driveway today, the trailer was almost at a 90 degrees compared to my truck. I just gave up. is it normal for trailer to be that far of a degree?

[@92813justin]

No it is not, Jet ski trailers have a short wheel base from the hitch so they will respond to aggressive changes quicker than a longer trailer. I would highly suggest making slow and easy turns to get used to it. Do not crank the wheel

[@Daland21648]

Still trying it killing me…. Thanks for the info

[@92813justin]

You are welcome

[@itssammiesakran]

I always feel like I'm gunna jack knife
