The inability to backup is something that takes some awareness - you have to be careful not to get into a situation where you need to back up. In 9+ years of full-timing, I have failed to do so just twice.
Something I did not see mentioned are the physical requirements for connecting and disconnecting the tow bar, safety cables, aux braking, etc. Sometimes if the toad and rig are not perfectly lined up when you stop it can be difficult to remove the tow bar. Perhaps getting a demo of the various types of setups would be a good idea - see if she can handle it, or maybe you can handle that even with limited vision. Good luck!
