Trailer backing tip; Put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, then whichever way you turn the wheel from the bottom is where the trailer is gonna go.

I’m a truck driver with over 20 years experience, and used to train new drivers. If you’re trying to keep the trailer straight behind you use the side mirrors only and turn towards the trailer. Meaning if the trailer is going towards your passenger mirror side, turn towards it (passenger would be 3 o’clock). You have to be fast with a shorter trailer. Also, keep you hand at 12 o’clock and only make quarter turns, meaning from 12 to 3 or 9, then back to 12.

On a short trailer like that if you turn the steering wheel more than a 45 degree angle from the straightforward position, you will be chasing the trailer more.

A confidence builder is to open the rear window and have her look over her shoulder and "follow" the trailer in a big open area. Small steering wheel movements only, aiming for minimal change. Then as above progress to mirrors.

Brad I am going to say since Regina has been joining you I am loving the content even more. Seeing your wife join you and be so involved makes me smile. A good old friend thought me how back trailer. While learning he had me turn in the seat and watch the trailer not the steering wheel. Learn the hand motion of what to do while watching the trailer and not the wheel. That will help you unlearn left and right when once he hand motion is learned use the mirror while keeping the hand motion. But Regina you were still doing great!! Moving backwards and turning backwards is hard to grasp.

If no one has said it, Regena put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel. If you want the trailer to turn left, then move your hand to the left. If Right... then move your hand to the right. With a short wheelbase trailer, slight moves are all it takes. THANK YOU BRAD!!!! You showed me your Blackstone and answered a question I had about what size you had.

Love seeing Regina getting involved so much. The one big difference between her technique in backing up and yours is that she is relying on her mirrors to watch the trailer as opposed to looking backward over her shoulders. I think looking directly back gives a better perspective and is more intuitive. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

When backing up steer towards the problem. If the trailer goes left and you don't want it to go left, turn the wheel left. If it's going right and you don't want it to go right, steer right. Don't over correct. 1/4 turns on the wheel should be a good start for such a short trailer.

You have wonderfully soothing and easy to watch content, your Jeep is amazingly done up (love the trailer). You have chosen so many nice trails. Above all you make a great couple in love with what you do. I would invite you to India with your vehicle (and trailer) you could ship it over. You should really do some of the Himalayas - Leh (in summer) or Spiti in winters. Its so raw, so different and away from civilisation/support/emergency response. It it all works out, that will be the trip of your lifetime. I shall be very happy to host you, guide, plan and drive along.

Two different tips about back up. Tip A - Friend gave me this one is to use a toy semi truck and use that a mental note on what the Tractor is doing with the trailer when the tractor is turned side to side. Tip B - Small movements on the steering wheel. The trailer goes wild side to side when the steering wheel is turned too much. Small movements of the steering wheel keeps the trailer under control much better while back up.

My father and mother taught me how to back trailers starting when I was 14, and if they were around when I was a teenager, they would never stop commenting on my technique. The biggest thing they always said, "make small corrections." Especially with a short tongue to axle trailer, you need to make very small movements in the wheel. The moment you start trying to make big changes you get to a point that the trailer is into an unrecoverable "jack-knife" that you can only fix by pulling far forward. Small corrections!

Regena, backing up is difficult for some but one trick that has helped many- put a hand at 6 o’clock on the steering wheel. Keep that hand there and while backing up, if you move that hand left the trailer will go left, move that hand right and the trailer will go right. It simplifies the process and most grasp the concept after 2-3 uses. 👍🏻❤️

Used to be a truck driver and trainer for new hires. Advice to follow. Open area, get vehicle and trailer in straight line to start. Hardest part is stop natural turning instinct. Put hand on bottom of steering wheel. 6 o'clock position. That way if you want trailer to go left just swing steering wheel left. Always make small corrections. Most important part is hand at BOTTOM of steering wheel so your mind doesn't mess with natural feeling good luck Regina. You'll get it

Excellent choice in the blackstone , we have had ours for quite a while and love it, it’s very portable for camping and you can cook all three meals on it if needed .

Hey Brad. I saw a video where it was mentioned that when backing up a trailer it is easier if you grab the steering wheel on the bottom and just turn in the direction you want to go. It’s supposed to be better than grabbing the top of the steering wheel. Hope that helps Regina.

I just wanna say, this is a GREAT all around video. It's videos like this that make KZbin special. Medium length videos that tell a story, and share some cool experiences. Editing quality is spot on, and I just wanted to acknowledge how great a production this is! Thanks, y'all!

One simple way to reverse with a trailer, hold your hands at the bottom of the steeringwheel, if you want your trailer to go right, move the steeringwheel right, if you want it to go left, move left, still holding it on the bottom, small movements early instead of big late and off course, go slow.

I so enjoy watching your videos, I too am a veteran. USMC 1968-1972, But most of all you and your wife are informative and a fun couple, not sexual as some of the younger overlanders on KZbin. Thank you for your service in out military and thank you for your ability to create great videos. 👍 your wife is a great sport for put up with you while you put her on the spot, like trying to back up on camera. She also looks to be a great cook too. 👍👏👏👏👍

great job on your videos been watching the channel a long time. great filming and content. I love what you have done with your jeep. I started watching you shortly after purchasing my 2020 red diesel and was hooked when I saw your rig. You have been a great inspiration of what's possible out there to explore, keep treading!

Great video! In her defense, those tiny trailers are a pain to back up especially for someone learning. Get her in a full size truck with a 20ft trailer and she'll likely get the hang of it much sooner.
