An 8' trailer is much harder to back up than a 25' TT. 8' will "flip" left and right very quickly, a real pain.

Might also want to search youtube for training videos. Have fun.
P.S. My first trip towing was from Ohio to Arizona, with my 40' motorhome towing a 28' car hauler trailer. Total length was around 70'. I and the rig made it alive and we learned a lot.
