I found this useful on the geometry of backing in. Talks about a spotter, but skip to the 2 minute mark and it shows how to mark the reference point and how to use it to back in. If I were doing this by myself, I'd find the "8 foot spot" and hopefully there would be something protruding from the coach at that point. Then you could use a cone or a triangle safety reflector in place of the spotter and make the turns as explained in the video. Hope this helps you.
Sorry,,, tried to watch it, but it assumes a spotter who knows more than me...
I don't have one.
I have tho, come up on a system which does allow ne to safely back our forty footer into just about any where, with one or perhaps 2 jumps outside to check things out.
It's not terribly hard, and beats the he!! out of watching people who have no clue wave their arms.
