*Make sure that your spotter and you are on the same page with your signals

*Go VERY slow. Take your time.
*Don't be afraid to keep pulling forward to correct your approach angle
*Get out (over and over)and look if you are uncomfortable
*Stay calm. Yelling at your spotter doesn't help
*I watch the RV wheels in the mirror because they are the pivot point. Once they the wheels get past an object you can pivot harder.
*If you are in a high traffic are use orange cones.
Practice in a parking lot DOES help a lot. Use those same orange cones with broom handles.
*Enjoy the new RV!
The scoop helps too! (From either side)(Video)VVVVVVV
