towing long TT
I know that the entire towing experience will be interesting for me (basically a rookie)but there are one or two things that I'd like advice/opinions on. The TT that I am getting is about 35 feet ...

You are thinking correctly, and seem to understand the problem - which is more than half the battle. If you can adjust your mirrors so you can see where the wheels are tracking it is a big help - especially until you get used to it. Swing as wide as possible, and don't cut the wheels until you can see the trailer wheels are about to pass the obstruction. Also be aware that the hind end of the trailer swings the opposite direction, so make sure you know what is over there too.
Take it slow and careful, stay alert, and it will come to you in time .....
Listen VERY, VERY, VERY, CAREFULLY about that blind side rear swing of the trailer in a turn. Even with my 31' TT I often have the DW get out and make sure my "tail" doesn't hit something. You can see the inside area fine, but it's that blind side swing that can bite you when you least expect it.
Also, always carefully plan your exit strategy before pulling into any area like gas stations, etc. This is one reason I normally like to just stick with the Flying J RV lanes when traveling even tho they are generally not the cheapest.
