Little Traffic Cones For Backing

[Dave_H_M]

i am going to get three of the 6" size, I think. These are to set out on the long back into the spot at my duaghter's house.

I have a site by asking google, but thought I would ask here for advice before ordering. maybe I will change my mind based on experience. Any recommended substitute?

last time i parked my rv. i used a old 5 gallon plastic jug.
when it comes down to it most anything can do the job.
if one doed not mind paint on the drive. gravel? maybe a contrasting color gravel? line out a box for where the tires go?
me i have to get just so far back ( access to the garage) just to park and then to the side to open the steps ( retaner wall). and another sopt if i need to open the awning.
there are " nat marks" on my drive that help me. and i get out and check till i am happy.
when parked the front of my rig is way high, i can walk under the pin and not stoop. (5 ft 10 inches, and room to spare ??).

Where I park beside my garage is very tight. I stretch an old orange extension cord along the edge where I want my left side tires to be. I just follow that line and that gets me where I want to go and gives me the 6" clearance between the roof overhang and the side of my RV.

I have a short piece of lumber on my driveway. Acts as a target, as well as a tire stop when I'm where I want to be. Camping I will often place a rock where I want the rear tire to be. Yes, a target is a helpful thing.

I like the idea.....but not great with gravel! 😞

Get, or make, some flat markers and some 8-10" spikes to anchor them down.

:S Gees I would have never thought of the Wally World sporting goods dept. I will be in there Sunday. Thanks all.

I got a lot of years of backing the sugar wagon experience as a kid on the farm, but the long back with two turns in it always kinda frustrates me at the daughter's house.

I also have a permanent marker on the floor in the pole barn and a 2X4 screwed into the floor to keep my fanny from backing into the rear wall.

I use a couple of my Lynx leveling blocks for targets.

I used some pool noodles I had lying around. Didn't cost me a penny and I could still see them in my mirrors.

Cones are a great help!
