Best "shut em down" moment?

Way back 20 years ago when we first started pulling a travel trailer and I was a newbie,(not using radios) my wife was the one that used to direct me in, and I did nothing but yell at her. Then one time we pulled into a back in spot in the middle of a pitch black night, and I told her I would go the exact way she directed me, (we now had radios). I listened and did exactly as she said, and I never said a word back.
When she finally said "your good" and I got out, I could hardly believe that she had me in perfect.

I have never yelled or complained since that day.

Let me start off my saying that I am very good at backing a trailer into spots without much trouble and my DW is horrible at backing trailers. We have a 31' Class C and either are pulling a 10' utility trailer or an 18' enclosed trailer. This past week's trip to the beach pulling the large enclosed trailer, the DW and I came up with a good system that involves no yelling. I realized in order for that to work, I had to swallow my pride, shut up and trust her.

We arrive at the campsite.
1. We determine where to put the trailer while camping.
2. I back up the trailer while she makes sure I don't hit anything. I actually enjoy this the most because it looks difficult but for some reason, I find it very easy.
3. We discuss where we want the RV on the camp spot (meaning the DW tells me where she wants the RV parked and I say ok).
4. I back up the RV (without saying a word) into the spot following my DW's hand signals.

We followed these steps at our second campsite this past week and we had no issues or fights at all getting into the site.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I can back up an 18' enclosed trailer using a 31' Class C RV without hardly any help and the trailer be exactly where I want it, but I can't back up the Class C by itself into a spot and not be too close to something or extremely crooked.
