Now I've seen it all...
This has GOT to be the most ridiculous 'feature' I've seen on any vehicle. Ever. There are no words to express my disdain for this 'feature.'... If you can't figure out which way to turn the wheels...

I think my biggest problem with learning how to back up the trailer is not in turning the wheel in the right direction, but multitudes of overcorrection once the wheels are in the right direction.
Agree. Response to steering input when backing a bumper pull trailer is much quicker than when backing a fifth wheel. All the conventional wisdom I've read here that a fifth wheel is much easier to back was not my experience. Have a bumper pull now that is about the same overall length of our previous fifth wheel and I find backing it to be much easier for whatever reason..........
My 'finest hour' backing our fifth wheel came at Suwanee River SP in North Florida. First visit there, assigned campsite very tight with lot o' trees, posts and assorted obstructions including vehicles parked right at the edge of the road. Took a loooooooong time, but I got the trailer in without knocking down the forest. Did take 3 Miller Lites in quick succession to unwind afterward. :B
