When backing up, the head will swivel to one side or the other if you are backing up straight. If you have to change direction with your two vehicle a time or two on the way back, you will see the nose of the trailer shift to whichever side if you cut sharp enough.
To your original question - not really any different than a normal backup other than realizing that the nose my shift one way or the other.
This is exactly what I was wondering... thanks!
Because of the way the head swivels, is the trailer slower to react when turning in reverse? It seems to me like it would be because the head might need to swivel to the other side before the trailer starts turning.
It is not any slower. The hitch head shifts very quickly when backing up - within a foot or less. And even as the head is taking the set, you are initiating the turn so the head is turning at the same time. You do not lose any reaction time.
