All good advice above but I will give you a tip for the spotter that helps us;
We got into this in 2004 and I asked questions on this very forum about backing up a travel trailer.
My wife is a very good spotter but she's been doing it for hundreds of trips. We communicate by cell phone (when we can) and instead of saying, "go Right" or "go Left", she will say "PASSENGER" and "DRIVER" SIDE.
In other words, she does not say, "turn to the right". She will say, "start turning to the PASSENGER SIDE".
The Driver Side/Passenger Side lingo that was recommended here was one of the best tips I ever got.
