Ever have issues backing the trailer up?
This is a challenge each time we go off on a camping adventure. I've written a little bit about our experiences and a link to a video to help explain how to do it properly. Backing up your trailer...

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.

The longer the distance from the hitch to the axles, the easier the trailer is to back up. They are usually more stable on the road, as well. The short coupled trailers can be a real pain to back up.
