Who drives? Him or her?
Just curious. My wife and I are getting back into traveling by trailer after being out of it for over a decade, and in our case, I'll probably be doing all the driving and backing.
We got a pair of walkie-talkies, and are finding that they make us a much better backing team. With the exception of one close call with a very sneaky tree.
It's been our experience that my wife and I have vastly different skill sets in general, so we complement each other well.
It just happens that my vehicle handling comes to me naturally, be it a sailboat, motorcycle, or a truck and trailer rig. Is it safe (PC) to call it pretty much a guy thing? As a guy, raised in the 50's and 60's, I see vehicle handling as something I have to be competent at. Plus, I'm interested in it.
I'd be happy if my wife could pilot the rig half the time, but it's not where here skill or interest lies.
So what's the setup in your family unit? Who drives? Curious too, if the non-driver is the planner/navigator.
