At what point do you step in and offer help?
A nice nearly new Newmar was backing into a space just across from me. He and the wife have wireless mikes and earphones so there is a lot of communication between them both by voice and by arm move...

I can drive & set up our travel trailer just fine (drove it about 5000 miles this summer) but I rarely have to back it up. I took it out on a girl's weekend this fall and knew it would take me a long time to back up, but that I could get it done. About 5 minutes or so into backing, a gentlemen walked up to me and asked if I wanted help, and I said absolutely! He hopped in, backed it right in, and we were good to go. I was very appreciative!
Not the help I would give, he simply served you dinner. I spent a little time last weekend teaching my daughter to fish, when backing up.
I use a method that has worked great for me for years! Place hand at the bottom of the wheel, and push the direction you want the back of the trailer to go! I also told her to start to straighten out before she needed to. The third thing I taught her in backing up it is much easier if you "palm" the wheel.
