Backing up your rig.
So how many of you count on you mirrors backing up, or are you old school and turn your head back 180 to look or both?

I guess Im missing something in this conversation. It sounds like people are making a case for which is the best way to back up a trialer, like there is only one correct method.
I use every tool available as dictated by the situation. I turn my head and look over either shoulder or both, I run my mirrors in-n-out and up and down. I get out and check when I'm alone and use the wife when she's with me. We also have handheld radios if needed.
Part of getting in and settled includes getting level and properly positioned. The wife is really good at getting that process completed with minimum effort.
During that phase she's in charge and I follow her directions. The sooner we're in and settled the sooner we can act like adults out-of-control.
Cheers
