There are only two things I would add to the thread, no one has mentioned look ing up for overhead obstructions and bumper mounted backup alarms are very inexpensive and easy to install.
The most difficult part of installing the alarm in most cases is removing the plastic bumper cover and putting it back on. The kits come with a cable for the speaker/ proximity lights, usually one small piece that can be hidden under the dash or elsewhere if you wish. There is only one electrical connection for tapping into the backup lights. Search ebay for "Backup Alarms".
There are systems with as many as 8 sensors which I plan on installing on my rig. If you happen to end up with a 102 inch house, it would give corner coverage as well as straight back. You do not need to install all of the sensors.
When we get a new vehicle, I will back up at the curb in front of the house. I listen for the first tone and go look for approximate distance to the car behind me, I also look at the backup monitor. Then I back up until the alarm gives a solid tone and go look again. I have found that the first alarm comes at about 3 feet and the solid sound comes at about 1 foot.
The alarm and backup camera are aids and using cones for alignment is just plain old common sense. Hope this helps.
