I've been pulling trailers all my life. I have no problem backing a trailer of any size - except that I cannot see behind the trailer and when backing at an angle, I cannot see much of anything. Relying on my sense/ability, and jumping out every few feet to check progress I can eventually get positioned where I want.
It sure would be nice if I could get my wife to help me with this, but she seems absolutely clueless. She will stand behind the trailer, where I cannot see her and make signals. Given a radio, she waits until I've gone too far in one direction to tell me I've gone too far. I've tried to patiently explain these things to her, but she just doesn't seem to get it.
Does anybody know of a training video or site I can point her to that would help her understand how to communicate properly?
Are we there yet?
