We recently went to a camp ground that had diagonal sites but the slant wes very slight almost perpendicular to the street. Plus there were light poles and other vehicles parked on the street. beings I had to use the drivers mirror and could not see the right side mirror it was all guess work as to where the 5th wheel was going to end up....after finally getting the rv next to the slab I thought things would have been easier if I had some little orange cones to place on the ground where the camper should end up. I have parked my camper over 120 times in the past year and this was the biggest pita. Plus the ground was wet and muddy and that did not help....

The sell the cones at sporting stores, Walmart, Camping World, probably many other places. I would just buy a couple. I have seen them used for many other purposes other than markers. JMO

Sporting goods store - soccer field stuff here or here..... they even make collapsible versions.Or you can steal them from a road construction site - NOT.

pet stores,great when you trouble on the road to.

Wife with two way radio? Mine has guided me into sites perfectly that I could not see at all in the mirrors due to the angle.

Soccer coaches use some orange soccer disc's instead of cones. They are about the size of a dinner plate with a large hole in the middle. A dozen will stack to a height of an couple inches. You can use them to mark the arc you need to back up to get into your site perfectly. And you can run over them without hurting them. Walmart has them as well as other similar stores. Cheap too.

I carry a small stack of soccer cones, helps a lot backing in, easier than trying to use edges of parking area (which might sometimes be grass). If there are holes on top, you can usually find cheap flashlights to fit, for help at night.

I've bought some 2" wide bright orange web strap. Comes in handy especially at state parks and other CGs that don't have well defined sites. I determine where I want the trailer to sit, lay out the strap, and park it right in between. Good part is if I run over it, no damage done.

I use jack pads like these. Granted, they're not as tall as the cones but, at about an inch high and brightly colored, they work for me. Want them taller? Put out a stack. The easy part is they're already out and ready to place under the jacks.

I carry 2 of These they collapse for easy storage and with the light and reflector they come in handy.
