New fifth wheel driver.
Would anyone like to share some wisdom when driving a fifth wheel for the first few trips ? Again, wisdom is the best advice.

Why is it that what should be the easiest sites to back into i.e. the widest site accessed from the widest road are more likely to give problems than the more difficult ones?
Presently have our near 36' selves sitting in a site really best suited for a <25' trailer or a class B. Paved access road is only 10' wide & has a bank on one side & drop off on the other. The site also has a bank on one side, a drop off on the right & drop off at the back with a severe downhill slope front to back as well as side to side. We are hanging off the back of the site to the tune of of 6' from trailer bumper to ground. I kid you not. I can stand under my stabilizers.
It only took 2 tries to get in thanks in no small part to my DW director.
Last week we went into a pull through, something we rarely get. You would have thought it was the first time parking with all of the jostling to get it 'just so'.
