When you get to your first campground, and are setting up, don't be afraid to ask fellow campers any questions. Look for a site that seems pretty organized and such. Those are usually the ones that have been at it for a while and can walk you through things.
Have your wife help you back into your spot. If you haven't already, get some cheap walkie talkies so you don't have to decipher whether the flailing arms mean "stop" or "there's a bee".
Hehe... Yeah, I'd ask you if you've been my camping neighbor before, but I realize that we're not the only couple that have had those campground "conversations" about what hand signals mean... Fortunately, my wife grew up on a farm so she's not a total newbie at helping back in a trailer.
Good advice about the fellow campers and how to recognize the experienced ones. Other than a handful of amenities (electric awning, electric jack/stabilizers, etc.), the biggest difference between this trailer and my old one is mostly size. I'll have to practice backing a little bit next week before we hit the CG.
