We use walkie-talkies often now when backing in.
This photo is one good reason why they help. This was at a Thousand Trails CG near Anacortes, Wa. last summer. Being on band land, they aren't allowed to cut down any trees so a lot of sites are hard to get in and out of. On the way out, these poor campers managed to get their TT wedged between a tree at the front and another at the rear with just a 1" clearance to the trees. There was no sight line to the rear of the TT where the spotter was. Apparently the driver tweeked the steering wheel left when it shoulda been to the right and then it was game over. It's amazing how many helpful fellow campers there are in CGs! It was about this time they decided to invest in walkie-talkies....
Just a coincidence that they have the same TT and TV as us. :R
