I took ours on its maiden voyage a few weeks ago. I pull a 25' gooseneck trailer almost daily and can back a trailer just fine. So when I got to the campground I didn't bother to ask my wife to spot for me. I was backing into the spot and was perfectly lined up on my first attempt and feeling rather proud of myself after seeing other people try to back trailers. Turns out I had gotten the one "deformed" campsite in the park. You see, upon closer inspection after the fact, I noticed that every single other grill was off to the side of the site near the picnic table and the lantern post. But at MY site, some genius decided it would be better to put the grill about 4' behind the parking bumper for the trailer. So my self-confidence took a sharp blow when I was easing back into my spot and heard and felt a thud. Now they have a custom leaning BBQ grill and fortunately I got away with only a hole in my spare tire cover and a temporarily crooked spare tire that I was able to fix with some elbow grease.
I was rather disgruntled at whoever decided that was a good spot for the grill. Who wants the grill right up against the rear of the trailer anyway? How stupid!!!
