Of course you can. Its no different than backing a short trailer behind a long wheelbase truck, except for the front wheels of the towed.
For them, have a spotter watch them or. even get behind the wheel to keep them in line while backing.
For the naysayers that claim hitch damage could occur, how do you justify the hitch pressure that occurs when braking the MH when the towed does not have braking power?
Go to an empty lot. Try it. You can do it, noone will get their arms torn off, wrists broken , as suggested when I opened a thread on this same subject.
Go read it.
search for ' backing' in my posts.

Nobody told you it would tear the arms off, but you were told you could break your wrists. There was an article in a motorhome magazine with an example of where the wife broke both her wrists. There was also a person on this very forum who told a torn of his wife breaking both her wrists while trying to hold the steering wheel straight while backing the toad. You are once again being very dangerous telling people there is no risk.
