I just did mine on feb 14. Dodge Ram 3500 megacab. 2015 Montana 3610. Anderson ultimate hitch. I made a u-turn to my left and was ok. Backing to my right into my driveway and whamo!. Window busted and cab dent!. Only 2400 miles on truck..I think we should turn the claim in to our insurance and have them go after ANDERSON. AFTERALL, Anderson shows a 5.5 bed in their video ad..
Hope you are joking. If not, old school science tells us that if 1/2 of the trailer width is greater than the distance from the pivot point to the cab, then true 90 degrees is impossible. And even for the opposite conditions, going beyond 90 degrees quickly doesn't work. It is our job to understand the limitations and avoid them. Turning left, then backing right certainly doesn't work as you found out. Good thing you have insurance.
