Good suggestions.
Now I am waiting to hear what kind of time you have when you go to hitch up the trailer for your first trip. After almost 35 years of RVing, we have settled into a routine where I drive the TV and he gives directions for hitching up. When we get to the campsite, I give the directions for backing and he drives. Works for us.
When the kids were young and we had an Aristocrat LoLiner, I did most of the backing by myself. I could fit the TT (single axle 16') between the side of the house and the fence with no help. There was about five feet of excess room to maneuver in. I guess I didn't know that those single axles were harder to back. Never did hit the fireplace! Young and dumb and didn't know any better. I sure wouldn't want to try it now.
