I don't know what helpful men can say without sounding corny - "Hey, you look like you know what you're doing but I figure everyone needs help sometime - if you need help while I am around, just holler" . I don't know...heck, I watched a guy with a 3500HD Duramax Dually spend what seemed like an hour trying to back a boat trailer down a ramp I hit the first time...I was hesitant to offer assistance and felt guilty after. I wasn't sure what to say...
Deb here: I'm pretty darn good at backing things up; and Ed and I have a good system of hand signals that usually gets whatever we're pulling parked quickly with a minimum of hassle. But when I've been by myself, I've accepted offers of "an extra set of eyes". I simply ask them to yell stop if I'm about to hit something (and assuming they're not already RVers, I'll point out tail swing and height issues that might crop up).
I DID have a moment, decades ago, while preparing to back a trailer for a tricky and tight shot tub delivery, when an inebriated "helper" said he "wanted to watch the Chick back up the trailer". My first inclination was to say "Bend over and I'll show you where I can back a trailer!" - but better judgement ruled and I simply said "one shot" and put the trailer within inches of the deck the spa was going on..... Realistically, that little snowmobile trailer was a LOT harder to back up than any RV we've ever had....LOL!
