Parking the 5er

Today we washed the Bighorn and got it ready for its winter nap at the local RV storage lot. We hooked it up and drove it down to the wash station provided by the lot, took our time and gave her a good bath. Then it was time for what the DW and I hate most about rving, backing into a parking space. We have only had the Bighorn since January and to be honest we suck at backing up! We have been to CGs were people came to help us because we would get mad at each other, but today we finally figured it out. It was our second time backing into the parking space. We were giving each other high fives after we parked in one try. I was so proud of us that I had to share it....sorry. This was a huge hurdle for us. Come on next February for our next trip.

Good on you:) After going through the same process with my Big Horn, I finally figured out that the trick is not to use verbal commands of "turn right" turn left", we use reference points on the right side and left side like " move towards the fence on the right or move left towards the house!!!! The reference points will obviously change depending on where you are located:):)
