We've had to unhook once (Vail, CO) on a dead end street. I have also successfully backed up a few feet after overshooting a turn. Everything was in a straight line, and I watched the toads steering wheel very carefully with the rear view camera.
I've always wondered if you could use the toad to pull the MH back a ways (in a straight line). Don't know why that couldn't be done.
Well, I've got a story.....
We were in Tea, SD, at a local RV park and it had rained a day or two before. Our site was rather muddy and on a slight incline. Everything was fine until I went out the next morning to get ready for departure.
Our steps were 3 or 4 inches above the ground when we set up camp and now almost touching the ground the next morning. I thought, uh oh.. We continued with our 'wrap-up' with the coach for our morning departure. I checked the toad and everything was fine as we had a pull-through and I didn't have to disconnect.
I started the coach and started to pull forward, we rolled about 3 ft. and the drive wheels started to spin. I rolled back and tried 2 more times..... we were spinning in the mud.
I got the bright idea to start the Honda and have my co-pilot rev the engine so that the Honda would not be a paper-weight. Well, it worked, the Honda helped push our 40,000 lb. Monaco Dynasty out of the mud hole.
So, the dingy can come in REAL handy for more than one purpose!:)
Safe travels,
