currently i drive semi,pull 53' trailer all the time
the best advice i can give you if your wanting to pull a trailer that size is advice i got from an instructor at semi driver training
"own the real estate"
in other words,take as much room as you feel you need when taking turns and going through round abouts. straddle the left line when in a right turn lane.
if your in a left or right turn lane and there are multiple lanes for that turn,always use the out side lane.
when in a round about, and it has two lanes going through it,as you approach it straddle the center line.you do this because your trailer will off track towards the center of the round about.put your right front tire close to the curb on the right side of the round about so that your left rear trailer wheels wont curb the inside curb of the round about
when it comes to backing,always try and set your self up for an easy back while still going forward.(too hard to explain how,much easier to find some one to show you how)
