backing up your toad
MHs with a towed are in a position that they need to back up a little to make a corner. Many do not know, have been told they cannot back up. Sure they can, a 4 down toad is no different than a short...

Practice with a hay wagon BEFORE you mess up your toad. Can it be done? yes, easy? no Very easy to mess up expensive tow bar equipment. He must be opening a hitch shop at his place. :) :) :)
Evan backing a hay wagon is not the same as backing a toad. The hay wagon's tow bar pivots at both ends and is connected to the steerable wheels, while a toad tow bar has a single pivot point at the tow vehicle and the steerable wheels work like shopping cart castor wheels, except that they can't turn completely around of course. Can most toads be backed for short distances? Generally yes, particularly if it's a straight run. Turns add a whole different dimension.
