Little orange cones

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....
  • I will have my DW stand where I want the back corner of the rig to end up. I use her as my line. The corner used is always the inside corner as seen through one of my mirrors.
  • Wife with cell phone...

    Or if solo, I have asked a neighbor camper or someone from the campground office to spot for me...always are more than willing.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
