In OC, MD this year. Had some French Canadians come in after dark to the site next to us. Two very nice ladies. The whole time they were trying to get parked not a lick of english was spoken. They were struggling. They couldn't get the 5er hitch unlatched. Finally I couldn't take it any more. I had to help. I suggested they put there wheel chocks (they called them stoppers) under the tires before their trailer ended up in the lake. Then showed them how to back up on the pin to unhook easily.
The list goes on.
