36 ft FW vs 30 ft TT backing
I am trying to see if my FW will fit a campsite I have booked. My FW is 36 ft overall and my dads TT is 30 ft. The CG says the TT will fit in the site, but the FW will not fit because of site access...

We had a 35' TT that we towed with 2000 Excursion. Now we are backing a 42' FW with an F450 DRW long bed. I did the TT for 13 years and just finished my first year with the FW. I agree the TT reaction time is quicker, but I found the turning radius of the FW is greater. Also, I follow the Z method of backing the FW just as Valhalla360 suggested. This sets the tail end of the FW going in the right direction. Using Google Maps to see the site for preplanning is a great idea that I will be trying this next season. The key is a calm head, patience and sometimes accepting the fact you may have to pull forward or go around the block and try again. Don't get concerned about what others might think of your backing skills. Everyone has had bad days backing up. Happy Camping!
