Try the 'swoop' method
Approach site on drivers side
Drive close to same side of road as site is on
When you get to site entrance turn truck away from site when front tires of trailer just reach the edge of site entrance
When truck is at 45* turn back opposite way
When front of truck is parallel with road stop
Truck should be straight and trailer at a 45* angle with backend of trailer just past site entrance
Turn truck wheels to right......start backing up and then chase backend of trailer by straightening out/turning truck wheels to left
Use trailer tires as guide and follow imaginary line going back into site where you want trailer tires to be.
Slow, slow..........did I mention go slow and make adjustments watching trailer tires
yep, x2
This sounds great!.. thanks! I just don't quite understand one bit.. "When front of truck is parallel with road stop"
Can you re-work it for me :-)
Thanks again!
