Help with Backing Up

For me, there is no substitute for getting out of the truck to actually look things over before backing. I may have to do that more than once to check for trees, picnic tables, etc.

My wife's signals are very useful on when to stop. I rely mostly on my own judgement for the steering, but I don't tell that to DW.

X2 on this

If I'm backing in to a tight site I usually pick a spot I want to start our TT turning.

I tell my wife to stand about 2 feet outside that spot so I can see her in my side mirror

If I run over her I know I turned too sharp


All joking aside it takes patience. And she is a huge help. I have finally gotten the point across to her that if she can't see my side mirror I can't see her
