Need Advice for Backing in 41' Long TT to Camp Site
Okay, I purchased a 41 foot travel trailer. This is a lot longer than my previous 30 foot trailer. I will need to back this camper in to a permanent camp site that already has a deck installed. I would like to get the camper within a few inches of deck. The deck is 16 feet long.
I have a 60 degree angle approach (birds eye view) and only have one way to approach campsite. Meaning the campsite is on the passenger side when I pull up to it. I have to start the camper in on the 60 degree angle and then straighten it out to get it parallel to the deck. **It should be noted, I do not have the ability to pull the TV and TT forward so both are in a straight line before backing in postion**
How do I gauge where the pivot point location should be (in relation the deck) before I start to bring the camper tail around?
Hopefully my description of what I have indicated makes sense. I am trying to visualize how I need to attack this before I get to the campsite.
Any practical experience or advice is appreciated. I tried looking for videos of really long travel trailers, but I have only found 5th wheels or smaller TT examples.
