There's no need to learn how to do things you don't need to do. Doing things you don't need to do is called a hobby; if backing trailers the old way is your hobby have fun with it.- Hey Round Rock TX - AT least my former stomping grounds up in North Texas around Wichita Falls are getting all of their water sources replenished with all that rain. The surrounding lakes like Lake ArrowHead or Lake Kickapoo have gone from a low 20% capacity to almost 100% capacity in just a couple of weeks... Hopefully the town of Windthorst TX has running city water now. Their main source of city water came from Lake Arrowhead which got turned off not too long ago.
I guess the drought is somewhat over now for a year or two...
I was hearing the SouthWest Desert boundaries was heading for the Mississippi River.
Roy Ken - OMG. One option I can do without.
- And here I was just getting used to my new 2010 Ford OEM Rear Mounted Camera that shows the trailer hitch go directly over the truck hitch ball when hooking up my trailer - first time every time... I find myself not even looking out of the rear Window or Mirrors anymore when backing up. I suspect this is going to have big surprises one of these days...
Roy Ken - Just goes along with the dumbing down of America where people dont have to think. Happening quite fast in the workplace so might as well apply to daily life. Dont get me wrong, i am for technology that helps people but sometimes it just goes to far. How will people ever learn anything if its always done for them.

Not everyone was born a pro at backing up a trailer or has enough leisure time to go camping often enough to stay proficient at backing up a trailer. :R
JMHO here, but im sorry... If you don't have the skill set to back up a trailer, maybe you shouldn't be pulling one.
I don't like to become dependent on electronic aids but it can help some people, it's a good thing. What ever works............Steeljag wrote:
Lol....some here are against any new technology!
Or waiting for the next refinement? We have cars that will parallel-park themselves. When towing, I can see a camara that will created a 3D scan as you roll up to your spot. With pre-programmed dimensions of TV and trailer, wheelbases, pivot points, width with slides and awning, etc, the 3D scan can determine if there trailer will fit, warn of branches that would scrape roof or trees that would prevent slider or awning from fully extending. If driver accepts, button pushed, computer takes over, pulls rig forward and backs it in.
Okay, where is my 2nd cup of coffee and when will this rain stop to I can get away from the computer! :B- JMHO here, but im sorry... If you don't have the skill set to back up a trailer, maybe you shouldn't be pulling one.
