If you go back to the OP original post (and mine) you'll notice that the backing into a docking maneuver is done from a 90 degree (right angle) turn. There is NO room to back straight in or anywhere close to it, annnnd... you only get one pull forward maneuver. Getting a 43' motor home into a tight campground site that is 90 degrees from the access road is no picnic. That's exactly what this skill test maneuver is all about.
