Semi drivers, straight truck drivers, bus drivers all do it solo and some of them can just about thread a needle backing up.
I am not solo but would prefer to do my backing solo. DW has a whole set of gestures that make no sense to me. The best time was when she was guiding me in while the campground host was also guiding me. I almost ended up sideways in the spot. Waited for the host to leave, sent DW off to do something else and redid the job myself.
Go to a deserted parking lot, set up some cones and practice backing using your mirrors. I use the rear view camera to make sure I don't back over anything directly behind the motorhome.
You could also just stick to drive through sites.
