I just added a 6 X 10 {14' overall} cargo trailer to haul my Indian Springfield {862#} with my 24' Class C. The first thing I did was to adjust the aim of my rear view camera down about 10 - 15 degrees so that it clearly shows the ball as I back down to the hitch. This enables me to back into position with the ball directly below the trailer hitch the first time every time.
As far as backing the trailer it is a challenge particularly because I went with a single axle model. Backing a tandem axle trailer is much easier as they are less sensitive to steering input. When backing straight back I cannot see the trailer and the view of the hitch is really not much help but... as the trailer begins to wander left or right it quickly appears in my mirrors and I can adjust pretty well to that visual input.
For now having my bride as a spotter gets the job done, that and really taking my time. I do plan on adding a second camera up on the roof of my coach that will show the trailer and give me the option of viewing it while underway {something my current camera does not do as it is only "on" when the coach is in reverse}.
Like the old joke about how do you get to Carnegie Hall... Practice, prctice, practice! I find setting some orange cones to mark my intended lane helps to give me the visual landmarks that make backing somewhat easier.
I find that it is all good when we pull in to a gorgeous location, roll the bike out and take off for a ride on another awesome road. Headed up to Flagstaff, Pinegrove CG, on Sunday for 5 days of incredible rides.
Good luck!
