John , I find the biggest problem when I first learned to back our fiver was that it takes a little longer for the fiver to react to the command of the TV , much longer BUT, BUT once the fiver gets moving in the right direction you want it to, it is almost to late and then your fiver overreacts to your TV command . I find that once I notice the fiver even hinting of going in the right direction I want it to I may do one of two things. 1) Try and get the TV to get the fiver back in line, which hardly ever works) 2) Once the fiver starts moving the way I want it to go , I stop ,pull ahead a bit and know now that I have got the fiver and the TV in the sweet spot where they are working together. Once you learn how to back the fiver , it totally screws up your ability to back a bumper hitch trailer . Well, not really, but the fiver becomes easier because of the slow reaction time and the bumper hitch trailer takes off on you right away. Just remember , if the fiver starts taking off to sharp in any direction ,you will want to , pull ahead a bit and then try again . It is almost impossible to correct the over reaction without first pulling ahead . Life is Good
