Fiver following truck
In a campground with a sharp turn around at end of loop. Talking to neighbor and noticed everyone goes in on right side of turn around and comes out on left which has a tree on inside, some backing up...

My theory why people would do this is, I personally think itbis easier to see how my trailer is tracking on the left side than the right side. And you mention that tree. Wouldnt that tree possibly be in the blind backswing area of the trailer?
The tree is on the inside of the radius of the turn. If you enter from the right, it would be on the inside on your left as you exit. There are trees on the outside of the radius as you enter and exit with the center of the turn having a slight drop off. Since this is an older campground it wasn't designed with big rigs in mind. The thing that doesn't make sense is why the tree, an old pine tree, hasn't been removed. Watched 2 class A's today, roughly 35 to 38 feet do turn, and both had to back up and realign to make it.
But back to original question, I couldn't figure out how someone thought a fiver would track different depending on if it was a left or right turn.
