Can you back up with a toad 4 down
I wonder if you can back up with a toad 4 wheel down? At least a little? Thanks

I had a Manx style dune buggy, and had my Roadmaster hitch attached to it, and my 30' Bounder. The Manx has about 75 - 100 pounds on the front end, so basically it will be the lightest vehicle ever! Only about 1,500 pounds total!
I tried backing it up in my driveway, and it did not work.
About the only way to back up a few inches at a time is to release the hitch pins, so that the hitch can collapse, and the vehicle will not 'need' to move at all! Most RV mounted hitches can move side to side by more than 8" without needing to move the vehicle. . .
You can push or drive the car backwards at the same time that the hitch is collapsed, and go several feet that way (about 8"-10" at a time). But if you pulled into a 50' long campsite, and want to back out in the morning, it would be much faster to disconnect, back out the car, then RV then hitch up again, a total of about 8 minutes with practice. . .
So if you pulled a little to far forward for the fuel pump to reach, pull forward to another pump, or go around the gas station and try again. ONLY if you need to back up 8" or less, that would be a reason to pull the hitch pins, and then back the RV up a little bit.
Good luck!
