I encourage you to be ready for that rare time you may need the skill, knowledge that you can, teach by example.
i urge you naysayers to listen to , try out the yes sayers ways. Prepare yourself for any forseeable contingency before it happens.
Sure, you can try it and sometimes it will work. I have never attempted backing up as the tow vehicle and tow bar are designed to move forward. Reversing changes the whole dynamics of the situation.
It only takes a few minutes to disconnect so why risk it? If a person is dead straight and rolling back might work. But, any distance is asking for trouble and risk of damage.
In the 7.5 yrs of motorhoming, we have had to disconnect 3 times. I've never tried to back up as so much can happen that could be very expensive.
Good luck,
MM.
