That camera sure would make it MUCH easier. Short trailers are very difficult to back no matter how good you are.

Maybe if you put some kind of fold out arm at the front and rear of your mc trailer so you could see it in your mirror while backing up you might have a chance.

It’s so easy to raise off ball and simply roll the trailer where I want since I have a wheel on the crank jack.

If the driver did not have a spotter I doubt it could have been done. My point is my MC Trailer is MUCH shorter than the Boat Trailer in vid making it VERY hard to see.

Can someone provide a link for what state's this is legal in? I've searched and can't seem to find reliable info. Alabama specifically.

AS others say those clicky states websites aren't accurite in many cases. Or they don't tell the whole story.
Having towed for a living in a eight state area I found the only law enforcment departments that had the experience to answer combination/weights questions was a local state troop post. Either drop by or give them a call. The dispatcher can get you in contact with one of the posts certified size and weights officers to answer your questions.
Not all state troopers are certified size and weights. Same with about all city/county leo's. They, like anyone, have a opinion on the subject.

Three years NW WA to SoCal and back with ZERO issues. RV parks, truck Stops and RestAreas are all we need along the way.
