backing in from drivers side is always best when possible.....Seeing you have some experience I would say to find a empty parking lot somewhere and just practice by your self and learn how the new trailer behaves I go a lot of times by my self and it just takes some time to get use to it and its even more fun learning to hook up by your self but I found a way that works for me and it just took some practicing for me to get it done. But if I need help from someone all I have to is ask my fellow campers and I have never been turned down...Happy Trails
