Little Traffic Cones For Backing

I use a couple of my Lynx leveling blocks for targets.

I spray painted stripes to mark where I want my tires to go, which allows me to park in the same position every time.

:S Gees I would have never thought of the Wally World sporting goods dept. I will be in there Sunday. Thanks all.

I got a lot of years of backing the sugar wagon experience as a kid on the farm, but the long back with two turns in it always kinda frustrates me at the daughter's house.

I also have a permanent marker on the floor in the pole barn and a 2X4 screwed into the floor to keep my fanny from backing into the rear wall.

I like the idea.....but not great with gravel! :(

Rope or yellow garden hose laid along the desired path. Just guide the tires along it.

Get, or make, some flat markers and some 8-10" spikes to anchor them down.

I have a short piece of lumber on my driveway. Acts as a target, as well as a tire stop when I'm where I want to be. Camping I will often place a rock where I want the rear tire to be. Yes, a target is a helpful thing.

Where I park beside my garage is very tight. I stretch an old orange extension cord along the edge where I want my left side tires to be. I just follow that line and that gets me where I want to go and gives me the 6" clearance between the roof overhang and the side of my RV.
