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'm tried to convince the wife it would be good for her to learn how to back the trailer in, but that would entail more b i t c h e n !!
HaHaHa!!!! I guess I was off a little in my post.
My wife doesn’t like driving my truck even without the trailer. She won’t even sit in the driver’s seat if the TH is connected.
My point was that she is my outside spotter. In fact, she is “Director of Backing Operations (DBO)” of the backing in process when she is available. This has many advantages over me being solely responsible:
1) If we’re not level and she rolls around at night - not my fault.
2) If we’re not close enough to the grass, patio area, septic, or to close to other RV’s – not my fault.
3) If we hit something – not my fault.
4) If above happens and repairs are required – not from my checkbook.
I’m at fault for enough problems without adding to them.

Ps: She is a very good DBO. I hope she doesn’t want a raise.
