I agree. Not just women though - I've known men who haven't a clue about towing/backing a trailer and have no desire to learn.

The only flaw in your execution that I see is that by staying in front of the truck, you weren't able to see what was going on in back.

Yesterday at a COE Park we tried some of the suggestions on this thread.
I had the wife park the rig. I stayed near the front of the truck so we didn’t have to yell to understand each other. We walked the site and the approach before we started backing in.
Went very well. We both learned some things. Going to do more of that in the future.
Personally I think if she does enough parking, she will be a better spotter. I was surprised by how much different it is spotting than driving the truck.
Thank you for posting this. I wish people would at least try switching places before pooh-poohing the whole idea. They might be like you and learn something, although admittedly, that's pretty hard when you already know everything.
The only flaw in your execution that I see is that by staying in front of the truck, you weren't able to see what was going on in back. Using walkie-talkies would allow you to communicate easily while also having a spotter able to look at everything.
