Enjoy your first outing. As for backing, I always have my wife spot me when backing. There is NEVER any yelling back and forth.

Agreed. The best thing to do to learn is to back in to a spot all by yourself. You might have to get out a few times and take a look but at least you know that you can do it. After that the wife only needs to make sure you don't hit anything (campsite number post, picnic table, rocks, trees, etc.) The backing up should be all you. You are the driver, not the wife. I promise you that this will save a relationship and begin the weekend with a happy wife resulting in a happy life!
