When backing any length motorhome into a campsite, you need to get out and look over the space for rocks, posts, tree trunks and overhanging branches. A rear camera would help if you are alone. A rear window with a lenticular wide angle lens installed also helps. When pulling out, make sure the TV antenna is in stowed/down position and that all hoses, shore power and TV cables are disconnected and stowed. You can usually get a nearby camper to help you park. With practice you may lose your fear of backing up, back up slowly. My fear is changing lanes to the right on freeways, I will pass up an off ramp or merge rather than risk a quick lane change where car drivers won't let me in.
