As "Davinet" commented on this topic. To get back, put the MH in N and start the toad and PULL the MH back as far as needed. Your bride can be in the MH or toad whichever way works best for your family. Communication can be by phone or walkie talkie. We always use this method when we need to 'get back' more than a few feet.
This is a little risky. Most tow bars are rated for around 5000#. If you are pulling something at 4-5 times that weight, be aware of the damage it can cause to your bar.
