Practice and patience.......................
I have 3 trailers: Boat, 8ft landscape and 27ft TT;
The boat trailer has the wheel close to the rear and swings slowly and does not react quickly to steering inputs - took some time to get used to.
The landscape trailer has a short distance from tires to hitch and jack-knifes easily, so less steering input required.
The TT is the easiest to reverse, the distance from tires to hitch is the key. I can sneak the TT into some really tight campsites - something I don't think I could do so easily with the boat trailer.
If you have problems, find an empty lot and practice.
