Backing Up A Flat Tow
Got caught tween a rock and a hard spot today. Had to back up my flat tow about 100 feet. I refused to disconnect, so, started the engine so power steering would work, then stretch strapped the steer...

Be aware that tow bars are designed to pull, not push. Continuing to back up is asking for issues down the road in
I've heard that theory before, but when backing up as the OP described, and assuming that the toad doesn't jack-knife, how are the forces on the tow bar any different than when the toad is pushing on the MH when braking? (Disregarding auxiliary braking system)
