Tire chocks. I personally use and like robochoks.
WhenIi first got my fiver, I took it to the high school parking lot after hours, set up cones like a road and practiced turning and backing around corners. I had been towing/backing bumper hitch trailers, but backing a fiver is different with the pivot being in the bed.
Speaking from experience on my first trip, make sure the landing gear is all the way down and the wheels chocked before releasing the hitch (thank goodness for the Bedsaver).
Take your time and have fun!
