An old tip if you don't already know it: Turning the bottom of your steering wheel to the left (clockwise), turns the back of the trailer to the left, and vice versus. Wife & I use CB's, and she just tells me which way the back of the trailer needs to go, but she hasn't got "follow" down real well, and I tell her, if it looks like the TT is going into its slot correctly, tell me to "follow" so I don't over turn it and have to correct. Sometimes I get her to drive so I can watch the TV wheels in really tight spots, though I'm ashamed to say that after backing TT's for almost 30 years I did recently hit a tree on the blind side of the TT. Wife was having me back the traler toward the left (drivers side) and was worried about a tree on my blind side on the right, but as the back end of the TT went left to miss it, the front of the TT swung more to the right and hit a tree she wasn't watching and that I couldn't see! Broke a running light but no other damage except to our RVing pride!
