Couple things I always do when I encounter a sharp right turn such as an intersection I hog the two lanes on the road I'm turning off of, or I look past the intersection for a place I might be able to turn around and come back çreating a left turn at the intersection. Towing 33ft.
X2 on this
Takes practice but with experience it's comfortable towing. Our first TT is our current one purchased last July. 33 foot. Towed by f250 gasser. Approx 7500lbs loaded to camp weighed on cat scales. Towing I'm about 55 foot total length.
You need to watch 15 seconds into the future if that makes sense for lane changes and turns. Wife is great copilot and she will take her turn driving on longer trips.
Good towing mirrors help. My truck side mirrors extend out for towing. Huge difference
If we are towing more than about 3 hours I plan fuel stop before we leave. I use google earth to scope out gas stations. Some may be tight to get to gas pumps
