Backing up a 5'ver.
Is there a good video or write up on how to back up a 5'ver into a camping spot that someone could recommend.

#1 Pull further forward than you would with a TT.
#2 Stay close to the side you are backing into, TV will swing wide not the 5er.
#3 Steer from the bottom of the wheel, push the wheel in the direction you want the back of the 5er to go, and PALM the wheel, going hand over hand will confuse the heck out of you!!
#4 Keep input small and start to straighten out early.
#5 Learn to use your mirrors, when you are not twisted around looking over your shoulder it is easier to steer.
This is what works for me.
X-2! I put emphasis on #4. Most people that are having issues while backing are "over-steering" or making too big of a correction. It's OK to have to pull forward to assist in making corrections but you should only need to pull forward a few feet.
