I refused to disconnect, so, started the engine so power steering would work, then stretch strapped the steering wheel to center, and backed it up, no pain no strain, no problem.
You did good-----------bungee or lock the steering wheel and back it like a trailer.
I get so aggravated at posters that have no knowledge of what they say, to start with negatives and half truths.
Example 1: The Toad system is designed to go forward. Duh, does that mean I can't back up my vehicle?
Example 2: The tow bar is designed to pull, not push. Again total BS. Your Toad pushes the RV when you slam on brakes with no brake buddy/etc assist.
I don't think the manufactures of tow bars would sell you a one way tow bar.
Regardless, the Negative Nancy's will continue to give the wrong advice.
Lock the steering wheel and back it as you would a trailer!
Is that so hard for some of you to understand?
